AppSec Program Build

Step 1Walk the line

Interviews and evidence, station by station.

ATALAIAWe walked all twelve stations. Three are missing, two are half done.

CTOWhich ones hurt most?

Leaves the room12 stations walked, 30 interviews

Step 2Pick the order

What reduces the most risk for the least effort, first.

ATALAIAThe pipeline first: one token reaches prod. Then scans, then threat modeling.

DEV LEADNot a pentest first?

ATALAIAA pentest would find what we already know. Fix the line, then test it.

Leaves the roomOrder: pipeline → scans → threat modeling

Step 3Build with your team

Each station set up with the people who will run it.

DEV LEADMy team owns the pipeline templates.

ATALAIAWe set them up together. Your people run them from week six.

Leaves the roomStation owners named

Step 4Measure it

KPIs leadership reads, reviewed every month.

CTOWhat do I show the board?

ATALAIAFive KPIs on one page, every month: time to fix, pinned pipelines, threat-model coverage.

MANAGERI'll own that page.

Leaves the roomKPIs: 5, one page, monthly
