Security reviews slowing down payment product rollouts
The situation this course is for
Even mature teams face delays when security is bolted on late. The cost isn’t just time, it’s eroded trust between product, engineering, and compliance functions. When OWASP integration happens after design, fixes become rework, not reinforcement.
Who this is for
Senior technical leader in payments or fintech who owns delivery of secure, compliant systems at scale
Who this is not for
Junior developers, auditors focused only on checklists, or consultants without implementation experience
What you walk away with
- Deploy OWASP controls in parallel with system design, not after
- Produce signed-off security artefacts in under half the review cycles
- Integrate automated compliance checks into CI/CD pipelines for payment services
- Lead cross-functional workshops that align product, security, and engineering on shared OWASP benchmarks
- Ship first-release systems that pass Level 2 OWASP ASVS review without rework

If nothing changes
Without proactive integration, OWASP remains a compliance hurdle, not a strategic enabler, leading to slower innovation cycles and higher remediation costs.
How this compares to the alternatives
Most OWASP training is developer-focused or audit-theoretical. This course is built for senior technical leaders who must deliver secure systems at speed, not just understand the framework.
Frequently asked
Is this course technical or strategic?
It’s both, focused on actionable integration for leaders who own delivery.
How is the course structured?
12 modules, each containing 12 chapters (144 chapters total).
Does it cover PCI DSS?
Yes, mapping OWASP to PCI DSS requirements is covered in Module 9.
