Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 998 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which DevSecOps improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 998 standard requirements:


1. Is your organization contemplating the development of a new IoT solution or just trying to improve on previous IoT efforts that failed to meet goals and expectations?
   
   

2. Why deploy and release software manually when you can automate the process, minimize risk of errors, and improve verification, while saving valuable time and effort?
   
   

3. How do you put in place a new approach to operations, security, risk and compliance that accelerates your digital transformation and improve outcomes?
   
   

4. When a critical open source vulnerability is identified by your organization, on average, how long does it take for your teams to provide a fix?
   
   

5. Does the vendor offer tools and pragmatic guidance to help you keep up with emerging security trends, as DevOps, DevSecOps, and Zero Trust?
   
   

6. Does it add up to something that is coherent as the right way to test that application for that release, given what is in it?
   
   

7. Is the patching process for open source components faster or slower than applying patches of the commercial software you use?
   
   

8. Does the cloud platform provide a comprehensive approach to security with layers of protection and preventive capabilities?
   
   

9. What are the top cybercrime trends and threats coming up, and what should organizations be doing now to best prepare?
   
   

10. How do you put together a security plan that will support your DevSecOps pipeline and address your specific concerns?
