Smart Application Security Score Card

Date of release: 05/14/2010 

There are several instances where application stakeholders struggle hard to identify necessary security SDLC activities for their applications and products. Apparently cost has always been a key deciding factor while engaging security activities at various stages of SDLC. Hence, most stakeholders with budget constraints tends to engage security activity that comes cheap and falls within the limited budget essentially to satisfy internal compliance needs.

C&S Smart score card intends to help application (or product) stake holders to self determine whether a specific application requires security assessment or not. Additionally it also helps assign weightage for individual security activities necessary for the application which in turns helps application stakeholders priorities those activities keeping the cost factor in mind.

Note: This is a beta release and the score card requires some more tweaking to make it flawless. I would sincerely appreciate your feedback and suggestions. Do feel free to drop a note in my email id d3basis.m0hanty@gmail.com incase you find an issue. I will try my best to address all issues before next release.
