AppSec Governance Setup
Establish application security governance framework, policies, and processes
Our AppSec Governance Setup service establishes comprehensive application security governance framework, policies, and processes for your organization. We help you define security policies, establish governance structures, create security metrics, and implement processes to ensure consistent security practices across all development teams.
Why it matters
- Policies without metrics fail to steer engineering behavior
- AppSec governance gaps block Secure-by-Demand and audit readiness
- Distributed teams need clear roles, RACI, and reporting rhythms
- Champions programs need governance scaffolding to scale
Typical engagement
4–8 weeks for framework design and initial rollout
Workshops with security, engineering, and compliance stakeholders
Existing policies (if any) and compliance drivers
