AppSec Maturity
Forty-two practices across seven domains — from governance and threat modelling through to dependency security, testing and incident response — scored as a maturity ladder rather than a checklist.
Mapped, monitored, and audit-ready.
Every AppSec Maturity control has a place in Talarity — with cross-mapping, automated evidence, and continuous validation.
Talarity's pre-built control library covering AppSec Maturity, with linked evidence, owners, and testing schedules.
Answer once, prove everywhere. Talarity's mapping engine reuses your evidence across every framework you run.
- SAST / DAST / SCA scan output
- Dependency and SBOM inventory
- Code review and branch-protection settings
- Penetration test reports
- Incident and vulnerability remediation records
Your AppSec Maturity dashboard
Every completed AppSec Maturity assessment updates this automatically — where you stand now, how that has changed, and which areas need work.
What gets easier with Talarity.
Application security is reported as a tool list rather than a capability.
Maturity is scored per practice, so the answer is a position on a ladder with evidence, not an inventory of licences.
Dependency and supply-chain risk is nobody's domain.
It is one of the seven domains, assessed and trended like the rest, with SBOM and SCA output attached as evidence.
Progress between assessments is invisible.
The dashboard trends every completed assessment and shows movement per domain, so a year of work is visible as a line rather than a claim.
AppSec Maturity — common questions
- How does this relate to OWASP SAMM?
- It covers the same ground in a form that maps to SAMM's business functions, and Talarity cross-maps the two so evidence collected for one counts for the other. SAMM is also available as its own assessment.
- What are the seven domains?
- Governance and programme management; threat modelling and secure design; secure build and SDLC; dependency and supply-chain security; security testing and verification; vulnerability management; and incident response and secure operations.
- Is it a point-in-time score?
- It can be run repeatedly. The dashboard keeps every completed assessment and plots the trend, which is what makes a maturity model useful rather than decorative.
Working with AppSec Maturity
Step-by-step walkthroughs from the Talarity library.
- Compliance·8 min readPackage your audit evidence once — for the auditor, regulator, or customerAn auditor asks for your evidence and it's scattered across framework reports, vendor attestations, policy sign-offs, and resilience tests. Evidence Distribution Packages assemble the signed artifacts you already produced into one immutable package, then hand it to each audience as a redacted, watermarked, time-limited copy — with a record of who received what.
- Compliance·7 min readFramework readiness to audit package — the whole cycle on one screenAudit prep usually means a spreadsheet scramble — chasing evidence, tracking which controls are covered, re-checking what's expired. Talarity keeps a live readiness picture for every framework (SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS, and more) — coverage, gaps, evidence freshness — and packages it into an auditor-ready export in one click.
- Compliance·7 min readContinuous compliance is a tooling problem, not a process problemEvery compliance program eventually decides it needs to be 'continuous.' Most then try to fix it with process. The actual fix is upstream — in the tools that make evidence freshness a default, not a sprint.
- Compliance·14 min readThe evidence nobody can deleteA legal hold is a promise that a specific piece of evidence will still exist months from now, made to people who will check. This is where you place one in Talarity, what the record has to survive, and — just as important — what a hold does not freeze.
