Part 3: Getting the Most Out of Software Secured
The Engineering Team’s Challenge
If you are leading a team of engineers, you face a constant battle: balancing feature development with securing your applications. Vulnerability remediation can be particularly challenging due to:
Large security reports that could be difficult to prioritize.
Coordination challenges between security and engineering teams.
The risk of security issues slipping through the cracks.
The challenge of estimating remediation time.
Balancing security with business needs.
Making the most of their security budget.
Software Secured simplifies this process with real-time support, a collaborative dashboard, and expert guidance to help your team remediate vulnerabilities efficiently.

Beyond Fixing Vulnerabilities
How Software Secured Helps You Stay Secure for the Future
Security is not just about fixing today’s issues – it’s about preventing future risks. Software Secured offers a comprehensive security partnership that extends beyond penetration testing.
There are several ways to take your security to the next level:
Quarterly security testing (PTaaS model) to uncover risks continuously.
Secure code reviews to prevent vulnerabilities before they reach production.
Cloud security reviews to identify misconfigurations.
Compliance readiness for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and more.
Developer training to build secure coding expertise within your team.
Ongoing consultation beyond just test results, supporting your security journey year-round. This is included with quarterly PTaaS packages. Security Consultations are used for:
Review new features and security controls to be implemented.
Threat model new features/components.
Review fixes to vulnerabilities from the pentest report prior to implementation.
Review of third-party reports (including bug bounties or external researcher reports).
Consult on application and network security questions from stakeholders or customers.
