SD Elements
Build Secure, Compliant Software from the Start.
Overview
SD Elements by Security Compass is a developer-centric application security platform that helps organizations embed security and compliance into their software from the beginning of the SDLC. It works by gathering project context through a survey and then generating a prioritized list of security requirements, tasks, and just-in-time training for developers. This automates significant portions of manual threat modeling and compliance processes.
