In a development world driven by speed and digital transformation, understanding all the security activities necessary to secure your organization is a real challenge. To gain clarity and put best practices into action, you first need to start with an outside-in view of your current security posture.

Assess your maturity level based on real-world data
Compare your software security program against industry peers based on real-world data. BSIMM is an open standard with a framework built on observed software security practices. It incorporates data from hundreds of assessments in more than 100 organizations, describing the work of thousands of security professionals and developers.
Understand your strengths and weaknesses to build a long-term plan
Unlike other frameworks, BSIMM is descriptive, not prescriptive. It documents your current practices—not what a small group of experts think you should be doing. It helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses, and what areas to prioritize based on your organization’s specific risks and capabilities.
The next step is to develop a Maturity Action Plan (MAP) with detailed steps to meet your software security objectives.
Build trust with your internal stakeholders, customers, partners, and regulators
BSIMM enables you to share your software security posture with your stakeholders quickly and easily. It offers concrete details to show executives, board members, customers, partners, and regulators how your efforts are making a difference to the security posture of your organization.
Engage with your peers in a vibrant BSIMM community
BSIMM includes an active member community that meets online and in person throughout the year. Members learn from each other and collaborate in a private setting to improve their software security programs.
Engage with your security peers via in-person global conferences and an online members-only portal that provides exclusive content such as newsletters, webinars, and blogs.
