What is secure coding training?
Secure coding training teaches software developers to avoid common vulnerabilities in the code they write. It usually covers the OWASP Top 10, a list of the most critical web application security risks, along with secure code review. PCI DSS requires it for developers who work on in-scope software.
What the buyer is really asking
General awareness training does not teach engineers to avoid injection bugs. Say what developer-specific training you provide (OWASP Top 10, secure code review) and how often.
Other ways buyers ask it
Every one of these wants the same answer:
- “How do you train developers in secure coding practices?”
- “Do engineers receive OWASP Top 10 training?”
- “Is secure development training required for developers?”
Evidence to have ready
- Developer training records
- The secure coding course or materials
How Tyrvar answers this
Tyrvar treats every wording above as one question. You write the answer once, attach the evidence, and revisit it when your setup changes. Each buyer gets that approved answer no matter how their questionnaire words it. If you have not answered it yet, Tyrvar flags the question for you and does not make something up.
