Secure SDLC · Diagnostic
AI assistants help your team ship faster. The research also shows they make developers feel more secure than they are, and that gap is where incidents start. Answer fourteen honest questions and you'll see where you actually stand, plus what to fix first.
It's a practitioner's diagnostic, not a formally validated test. Each question checks your practices against published research and recognised frameworks:
The 1–4 score is a planning rubric, not a precisely calibrated scale.
Your result
This diagnostic shows you the gaps. Two ways to close them:
The complete Developer and DevSecOps guides. Every failure mode with insecure-to-secure code, the security prompt library, and tools you can actually use: CI gate configs, the package-verification check, the tools matrix, and checklists to drop straight into your pipeline. Mapped to NIST SSDF and the EU CRA.
A scoped engagement to stand up the gates and review your AI-assisted pipeline end to end, with EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) readiness.
Indicative self-assessment for planning, not a certification or audit. Citations are summarised; full sources available on request.
