Security-First Development Culture, Made Easy
Secure Code Warrior empowers you to fundamentally change how your software is created by enabling you to set new standards for secure code. Our Developer Risk Management Platform helps you cultivate and maintain a security-first development culture, enabling you to measure, manage, and mitigate developer security risk through comprehensive benchmarking, robust governance, and engaging, hands-on education.
Measure
SQL Injection
It is difficult to manage what you can’t measure. Secure Code Warrior enables you to understand your developer risk landscape and measure the impact of your programs over time. Tracking progress both internally and against global and industry benchmarks.
Manage
While everyone would like to believe that developers operate with a security-first mindset, that isn’t always the case. We enable you to implement proactive security-focused governance by setting policies and programmatically enforcing them.
Mitigate
Once your program policy and goals are set, it's time to focus on upskilling and empowering developers with content relevant to the languages and frameworks they use, along with industry-leading best practices always available on-demand through our secure code training platform.

Elevated security intelligence: Guided courses helping developers get NIST-ready
Developers are among those who are most up close and personal with code, in addition to security configurations and access control. Their security skills must be nurtured, and to achieve the high standards as outlined by NIST, a hands-on course structure might just be the efficient way to tackle it, especially with large development cohorts.

FAQs
Things to Know about Developer Risk Management
What is Developer Risk Management?
Developer Risk Management is a holistic and proactive approach to application security, focused on code contributors rather than within the bits and bytes of the application layer itself.
The philosophy behind Developer Risk Management is that, through upskilling code contributors in a programmatic way, it exponentially increases the benefits and impact of secure code initiatives, leading to faster but more secure releases and significantly lowering potential cybersecurity risk.
Are you able to help me address my compliance requirements?
Yes!
Secure Code Warrior’s Developer Risk Management Platform provides the necessary relevant training materials needed, like content around the OWASP Top 10, to meet annual security training requirements for developers focused on secure coding techniques and a security-aware development workforce for compliance regulations like PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA.
Is Developer Risk Management similar to Secure by Design?
The concept of Developer Risk Management is closely related to guidelines surrounding Secure by Design and other Shift Left-type regulations being implemented worldwide.
While policy continues to evolve around setting guidelines and standards for software security, in practice, we have seen that this could be interpreted in a number of different ways.
Developer Risk Management is a practical approach to improving security posture whether related to initiatives around a Secure-by-Design pledge, some other governing force, or just a desire to enhance customer confidence to gain a competitive edge.
What kind of impact does managing developer risk have on my organization?
Many Secure Code Warrior customers have seen a significant impact across their organization when adopting a more proactive approach to managing developer risk. Including reducing vulnerabilities by up to 53%, accelerating development through improving MTTR by 2-3x, improving harmony between security and engineering teams, providing growth opportunities to developers, helping retain them, and fostering greater customer confidence and loyalty.
