Communication can be performed in a simple way, e.g. text based during the build process. This activity depends on at least one security testing implementation.
Risk: Failing to convey the number of vulnerabilities by severity might undermine the effectiveness of product teams. This might lead to ignorance of findings.
Communication can be performed in a simple way, e.g. text based during the build process. This activity depends on at least one security testing implementation. Layers to consider (SCA):
Layers to consider SAST/DAST:
Risk: Failing to convey the number of vulnerabilities by severity and layer (app/infra) might undermine the effectiveness of product teams. This might lead to ignorance of findings.
Without measuring Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) related to patching, it is challenging to identify delays in the patching process. Unaddressed vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers, leading to potential security breaches and data loss.

Measurement and communication of the number of vulnerabilities handled per severity level for components such as applications, ensuring alignment with SLAs. The rate should be broken down by team, product, application, repository, and/or service. This analysis should be conducted at least quarterly.
Risk: Not communicating how many applications are adhering to SLAs based on the criticality of vulnerabilities can lead to delayed remediation of critical security issues, increasing the risk of exploitation and potential damage to the organization.
Creation and response statistics (e.g. Mean Time to Resolution) of findings. This is also referred to as Mean Time to Resolve.
Risk:No or delayed reaction to findings leads to potential exploitation of findings.
Measurement and communication of how many of the vulnerabilities handling per severity for components like applications are aligned to SLAs. This is performed for the hole organization and doesn't need to be broken down (yet) on team/product/application. At least quarterly.
Risk: Not communicating how many applications are adhering to SLAs based on the criticality of vulnerabilities can lead to delayed remediation of critical security issues, increasing the risk of exploitation and potential damage to the organization.
Measurement and communication of the time from the availability of a patch to its deployment in production in alignment with Service Level Agreements (SLAs), conducted at least on a quarterly basis. Average time to patch is visualized per component/project/team.
