    Assess your maturity level based on real-world data

    Compare your software security program against industry peers based on real-world data. BSIMM is an open standard with a framework built on observed software security practices. It incorporates data from hundreds of assessments in more than 100 organizations, describing the work of thousands of security professionals and developers.

    BSIMM understand strength and weaknesses


    Understand your strengths and weaknesses to build a long-term plan

    Unlike other frameworks, BSIMM is descriptive, not prescriptive. It documents your current practices—not what a small group of experts think you should be doing. It helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses, and what areas to prioritize based on your organization’s specific risks and capabilities.

    The next step is to develop a Maturity Action Plan (MAP) with detailed steps to meet your software security objectives.
