OWASP.org is a valuable resource for any company involved with online payment card transactions. Dell uses OWASP’s Software Assurance Maturity Model (OpenSAMM) to help focus our resources and determine which components of our secure application development program to prioritize. Participation in OWASP’s local chapter meetings and conferences around the globe helps us build stronger networks with our colleagues. , (Michael J. Craigue, Information Security & Compliance, Dell, Inc.)

The Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) is an open framework to help organizations formulate and implement a strategy for software security that is tailored to the specific risks facing the organization. The resources provided by SAMM will aid in:

  • Evaluating an organization’s existing software security practices
  • Building a balanced software security assurance program in well-defined iterations
  • Demonstrating concrete improvements to a security assurance program
  • Defining and measuring security-related activities throughout an organization


For an introduction see the latest project presentation that was delivered on the German OWASP Day 2014.


The foundation of the model is built upon the core business functions of software development with security practices tied to each (see diagram below). The building blocks of the model are the three maturity levels defined for each of the twelve security practices. These define a wide variety of activities in which an organization could engage to reduce security risks and increase software assurance. Additional details are included to measure successful activity performance, understand the associated assurance benefits, estimate personnel and other costs.

SAMM Workshops

During the AppSec conferences, the SAMM project team organises workshops for you to influence the direction SAMM evolves.

This is also an excellent opportunity to exchange experiences with your peers.

If you plan on attending http://appsec.eu be sure to get involved in the SAMM workshop (scheduled on Jun-23).

  • The agenda for the SAMM Workshop in Cambridge on 23-Jun-2014 is available here.
