Being caught between engineering velocity and security compliance in delivery cycles

The situation this course is for

Delivery leads often inherit rigid security mandates they didn’t shape, leading to rework, delays, or compliance gaps when teams bypass controls to meet deadlines. The pressure to deliver fast collides with slow, centralized security reviews, leaving delivery managers without clear authority on OWASP risk trade-offs.

Who this is for

Senior delivery leaders who own project outcomes but lack formal authority on application security scope or OWASP control interpretation

Who this is not for

Individual contributors focused only on task execution, security specialists without delivery ownership, or executives delegating risk decisions entirely

What you walk away with

  • Direct ownership of OWASP risk acceptance decisions within delivery scope
  • Clear precedent templates for risk-based control exceptions approved by compliance teams
  • Faster resolution of security findings without escalation delays
  • Structured documentation that earns trust from AppSec and audit teams
  • Visibility into OWASP priority alignment across client engagements
