What is the OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model (DSOMM) course about?
Build defensible, accurate, and polished DevSecOps outcomes that stand up under scrutiny, the first time Each order is checked and updated against the latest insights before delivery. That is why access takes up to 24 hours rather than being instant.
What situation is the OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model (DSOMM) for?
Audit packages in DevSecOps often collapse under last-minute fixes, stakeholder requests, and version mismatches, consuming 80+ hours across teams. The cost isn’t just time; it’s credibility when leadership or regulators ask: 'Is this definitive?'.
What do you take away from the OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model (DSOMM) course?
Produce audit-ready DSOMM evidence packages in under one workday Eliminate rework cycles with version-controlled, stakeholder-aligned outputs Build internal confidence in your team’s ability to deliver clean compliance artefacts Reduce pre-audit validation time by 90% using structured templates and validation gates Turn DSOMM implementation into a repeatable quality engine, not a recurring fire drill.
