Who this is for
Senior sales-facing technical reviewer operating at the boundary of customer trust and security due diligence, frequently engaged in pre-acquisition or regulator-facing conversations where OWASP standards are referenced but not deeply implemented
Who this is not for
Entry-level implementers, pure engineering roles with no client escalation exposure, or practitioners focused solely on internal audit cycles without customer-facing risk dialogue
