Security requirements slow down product delivery
The situation this course is for
Product teams often treat OWASP compliance as a checklist that comes late in the cycle, creating rework, delayed launches, and tense handoffs between design, engineering, and security. The result is a drag on velocity and diluted user experience.
Who this is for
Senior Product Designer working in a high-velocity tech environment, responsible for balancing usability, timelines, and security requirements
Who this is not for
This is not for junior designers who don’t own end-to-end feature delivery, or for security specialists who don’t contribute to product design artefacts
What you walk away with
- Produce OWASP-compliant design specs in parallel with sprint planning, not after
- Reduce time spent in security review cycles by pre-validating control patterns
- Ship features with embedded OWASP controls that pass first-time audits
- Build security alignment into design templates to compound time savings
- Gain confidence translating OWASP Top 10 items into tangible UI patterns

Before vs. after
Before
Security requirements arrive late, creating rework and tension between teams. OWASP feels like a separate track that slows shipping.
After
OWASP controls are built into design from day one. Features ship faster with compliance already embedded, and review cycles are cut by half.
