Application Security Mentorship Program

Organizations desiring to implement secure development practices can bring in expert resources to accelerate the process. Denim Group partners with your development team to lead efforts to create secure code and to provide knowledge transfer on secure application development principles - whether your organization is looking for assistance with a specific initiative or for help making changes to overarching processes including the SDLC.

A Highly Customized Approach

Every organization operates differently, has a unique staff and has specific goals. Mentorship programs are completely customized to client needs. Some examples of previous mentorship engagements include:

  • Assistance Developing an Internal Security Team

    Denim Group provided the hiring criteria to assist with forming an internal security team. After staff was put in place, Denim Group provided training on threat modeling and penetration testing. Denim Group also worked with the organization to catalog their portfolio of applications and to create a schedule for recurring application reviews.

  • Partner Single Sign-On Architecture (SSO)

    Denim Group designed a system that allowed the organization to provide single sign on capabilities for users of their partners' applications. This included: helping with cryptography engineering for the hand-off protocol, server side operations, administrative tool development and design of client toolkits to help increase the rate of adoption.

  • Scanning Tool ROI

    Denim Group worked with an internal auditing team to make sure the money they invested on scanning technology was actually providing a return. Denim Group first provided training on how to properly use scanning tools, and then worked with the team to help integrate the use of the tool into their business processes.

  • Standards Development Based on Organization-Specific Dynamics

    One client wanted to create development standards specific to their organization, including all necessary detail. At the same time, they wanted to avoid voluminous standards that would be ignored in real practice. Denim Group first worked with the organization to assess a number of internal applications. The assessment helped identify a number of critical systemic issues, or issues which appeared to be regularly recurring during the development process. Denim Group then helped them craft new and improved development standards that would help them eliminate the most significant issues.
