Automate your SDLC with tooling and expertise that prioritizes security, quality and speed.
Software Security is the New Horizon of Security
With network security improving dramatically over the past decade, cybercriminals have increasingly turned to the seemingly easy exploitation of applications as the method of choice for hacking. Numerous large scale breaches in the past five years, that have resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses, have been attributed to software security flaws. A Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) is the only way to maintain strong application security.
It’s estimated that up to 90 percent of reported security incidents result from defects in the design, architecture, or insecure coding practices of software.

Secure Your Applications With a Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC)
It’s estimated that up to 90 percent of reported security incidents result from defects in the design, architecture, or insecure coding practices of software. We understand the complexity of modern software development practices, including Agile development methodology, Infrastructure as Code, and Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). Security cannot be a roadblock for successful software development, and requires the partnership of both developers and the security team. Our consultants have experience in the development and implementation of software development security programs and processes.
Develop Your Application Security Program
Building application security into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is the best way to secure your applications and save your organization money in the long run. The earlier a flaw is caught, the less resources that are required to remediate it. The Penn Group’s approach prioritizing automation, completing the hard work for you.
Our Approach
We use established software security assurance models and frameworks such as the Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM), Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), and the BSIMM3 Scorecard to stand up and evaluate software assurance programs. Our certified consultants develop your team, processes and procedures, and help you to achieve a Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC).
Automation First
Integrations into your CI/CD pipeline offers immediate value to your business by improving Time to Deployment KPIs. Using standard and open source tools, you can deliver software quicker, without sacrificing quality.
Training Wins Wars
Developers require training to develop secure software. Critical software flaws are expensive to fix late in development, and should be rectified as early as possible in the development cycle. The Penn Group’s proprietary training keeps your developers one step ahead of the security battle.
Get Right With OWASP
The Penn Group application security consultants apply rigorous industry standards for software security assurance such as the OWASP Top 10 at the beginning of the SDLC to mitigate or eliminate them as a risk.

Application Security Assessments
The Penn Group uses state of the art tools and methodologies to perform software assurance. We use black-box, white-box, and grey-box testing, manual code reviews, and both internal and external penetration testing of your application. Our work includes a comprehensive report on uncovered vulnerabilities, including whether the vulnerabilities are discoverable or exploitable from authenticated or non-authenticated scenarios. Our goal is to improve the security posture of your applications and ultimately your organization.
