Secure Development Training & Security Champions Program
Annual slide-deck training does not change how code is written. We train developers on the vulnerabilities found in your own stack and findings, run hands-on labs, and stand up a security champions program — named engineers in each team with a playbook, office hours and metrics — so secure design survives after the training ends. Satisfies SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI developer-training requirements.

Execution
Testing runs to the agreed plan. Critical findings are escalated as they are found; you don't wait for the report.
- 05
Report & debrief
An executive summary plus technical findings with evidence, reproduction steps and fixes, walked through with your team.
