Using the SAMM v2 Toolkit to Perform Assessments, Create a Scorecard, and Roadmap

Introduction
The purpose of this presentation is to provide an executive briefing on how to use the SAMM v2 (Software Assurance Maturity Model) Toolkit to perform security assessments, create a scorecard, and develop a roadmap. SAMM v2 is a framework for improving the security of software development practices in organizations. By following SAMM v2, organizations can assess their current security practices, identify areas for improvement, and establish a roadmap for achieving desired security maturity levels.

Assessment Worksheet and Scoring
The first step in using SAMM v2 is to complete the assessment worksheet. This worksheet contains a set of questions that cover different areas of software security, such as governance, code review, and security testing. The purpose of the assessment is to evaluate the organization’s maturity level in each of these areas.

Each question in the assessment worksheet is associated with a score. The scores range from 0 to 3, with 0 indicating an absence of the practice and 3 indicating a fully mature implementation. The scores are used to determine the organization’s current maturity level and provide a baseline for improvement.

Scorecard Creation
The SAMM v2 Toolkit provides a feature for creating a scorecard based on the assessment results. The scorecard is a visual representation of the organization’s maturity level in each of the different areas. It provides a high-level overview of the organization’s strengths and weaknesses in software security.

The scorecard includes the following components for each area:
1. Objective: This describes the desired outcome or goal for the specific area of software security.
2. Activities: These are the actions or practices that need to be implemented to achieve the objective.
3. Results: These are the expected outcomes or benefits of implementing the activities.
4. Success Metrics: These are the measures or indicators used to assess the effectiveness of the activities.
5. Costs: This refers to the resources, such as time, money, and personnel, required to implement the activities.
6. Personnel: This identifies the roles and responsibilities of the individuals involved in implementing the activities.
7. Related Levels: This shows the dependencies and relationships between different areas of software security.

The scorecard helps senior leadership understand the current state of software security within the organization and provides insights into the areas where improvement is needed. It also serves as a basis for developing a roadmap for enhancing the organization’s security maturity.

Roadmap Development
The SAMM v2 Toolkit facilitates the creation of a roadmap based on the assessment results and the desired maturity level. The roadmap outlines the steps and activities that need to be undertaken to achieve the target maturity level in each area of software security.

The roadmap includes the following components for each area:
1. Objective: This restates the desired outcome or goal for the specific area of software security.
2. Activities: These are the specific actions or practices that need to be implemented to progress towards the desired maturity level.
3. Results: These are the expected outcomes or benefits of completing the activities.
4. Success Metrics: These are the measures or indicators used to assess the progress towards the desired maturity level.
5. Costs: This indicates the resources required to complete the activities.
6. Personnel: This identifies the roles and responsibilities of the individuals involved in completing the activities.
7. Related Levels: This shows the dependencies and relationships between different areas of software security.

The roadmap provides a structured plan of action for improving the organization’s software security practices. It helps senior leadership understand the steps and resources required to achieve the desired maturity level and aligns the organization’s objectives with its security goals.

In conclusion, the SAMM v2 Toolkit is a valuable resource for organizations looking to enhance their software security practices. By performing assessments, creating scorecards, and developing roadmaps, organizations can assess their current state, identify areas for improvement, and establish a clear path towards achieving their desired security maturity levels.
