Purpose

Define the expected structure for maintaining evidence of secure coding and developer security training.

Audience

Training should apply to developers, technical leads, DevOps engineers, QA, and anyone who can change application code, infrastructure, deployment pipelines, or production configuration.

Training topics

Topics should include OWASP risks, authentication and authorization, input validation, output encoding, secrets management, dependency security, secure logging, error handling, API security, privacy-by-design, code review, and vulnerability remediation.

Frequency

Training should occur during onboarding for engineering roles and periodically thereafter. Additional training may be assigned after recurring findings or major security changes.

Completion tracking

Records should include participant, role, training module, date, completion status, score/acknowledgement where applicable, and remediation for overdue training.

Evidence to maintain

Training deck/material, completion report, attendance, secure coding checklist, code review evidence, and remediation exercises.
