Turn AppSec scans into actionable intel
A roadmap with actionable insights to maximize its current AppSec program which consisted of Checkmarx SAST for source code analysis and SCA to track, assess, and remediate open-source vulnerabilities.
APMA assessment to inform best practices and next steps
Cdiscount elected to participate in the Checkmarx AppSec Program Methodology & Assessment (APMA) framework. Checkmarx APMA is designed to assess the current state of an enterprise AppSec program and provide specific, actionable steps needed to advance the program.

Received a blueprint for AppSec maturity
Cdiscount immediately benefited from the APMA interview itself, which required it to look inward at the AppSec tools and processes in place and the efficiency of the development and AppSec teams. Reviewing the maturity level of the different components of the APMA methodology helped Cdiscount draft the blueprint of what a good AppSec program at Cdiscount would look like.

Maximized ROI and increased confidence in AppSec
The gap analysis, which identified the steps needed to move from the current state to the desired state of maturity, allowed Cdiscount to understand how to optimize the implementation of the recommendations advised by the APMA team. This led to two main benefits. First, it helped Cdiscount maximize its ROI. Second, by achieving its desired state of AppSec maturity, Cdiscount gained added confidence that it’s providing the safest and highest quality services to its customers.
The APMA methodology elevated the discussion to the overall spectrum of an AppSec program and zoomed out from the day-to-day discussion that usually is driven by a tactical or operational issue to fix.
