Security review isn’t slowing deals, it’s shaping them. But only those who speak OWASP fluently are closing faster.

Who this is for

Enterprise Sales Executive selling into technical buyers who require OWASP compliance validation prior to procurement

Who this is not for

Individual contributors focused only on application development, junior SDRs, or teams selling into non-technical SMB buyers

What you walk away with

  • Produce security documentation that clears review on first submission
  • Shorten time from security objection to signed approval by up to 50%
  • Structure pre-emptive OWASP evidence packages for high-value deals
  • Speak directly to application security teams with framework-accurate language
  • Turn compliance requirements into competitive differentiation during negotiations

If nothing changes
Continuing to treat OWASP as a compliance hurdle rather than a sales accelerator risks losing competitive deals to vendors who clear security faster, and missing the chance to position security as a strategic differentiator.

How this compares to the alternatives

Unlike generic compliance courses, this program is built specifically for sales executives who must navigate OWASP in high-stakes enterprise deals, not for developers or auditors. It focuses on velocity, not just knowledge.
