Todo en español

Thanks to the team led by Juan Carlos Calderon, we have a complete translation of the SAMM 1.0 into Spanish available now on the downloads page. This would not have been possible without the translation work performed by the team of Francisco Aldrete, Luis Martínez Bacha, Miguel Pérez-Milicua, Alvaro Muñoz, and Aldo Salas.

Also, Joaquin Crespo from the Spain contingent of OWASP contributed a full translation of the OpenSAMM 1.0 overview presentation. That’s also available on the downloads page.

To everyone involved in the translation work, I would like to personally extend my thanks and gratitude to each one of you for this valuable contribution to the project. If anyone reading this would like to lead a translation to your language of choice, just post a message to the SAMM mailing list and we’d be glad to help you get started.

OpenSAMM 1.0 in Japanese

Masaki Kubo at JPCERT undertook the great effort to translate the SAMM 1.0 document into Japanese. It’s available here. I’d like to thank him and JPCERT very much for the effort and the motivation to drive this to completion. Fantastic work!

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything to the site, but don’t mistake that for lack of activity! There’s actually a backlog of contributed resources that I’ve been meaning to post here but haven’t had the time to get it done yet. They’re all available via the mailing list with a little digging, but in the next week or two, we’ll try to get them all up here.

Hardcopies available on Lulu.com

lulu.comIn preparation for the upcoming OWASP conference in Poland, we were asked to help get the 1.0 release up on Lulu.com so that a copy can be printed for each attendee! So, we’ve put up the SAMM 1.0 release and it’s now available for purchase. That means you can purchase professional hardcopies, delivered right to your door, which is pretty handy. Even though I’m partial to the color version, there’s a more economical black & white version available too.

SAMM 1.0 Released!

samm-coverThe Beta release has been out for quite a while now (since August 2008) and lots of organizations and individuals have provided excellent feedback to help improve the model. I’ve heard lots of stories from people using SAMM (some are consulting firms, and some are development organizations) and that feedback has been some of the most valuable. This release marks the official 1.0 version of SAMM and there’s a few new pieces added:

  • Executive summary and introduction to the model
  • Improved details on applying the model to solve problems
  • Assessment worksheets for evaluating existing programs
  • Roadmaps for financial services and government organizations
  • Improvements and refinements to the model (I’ll cover changes individually in separate posts)

Many thanks to the individual reviewers and the organizations that have volunteered time to help improve SAMM. I look forward to more active participants as we push forward with some of the future development plans for SAMM.

SAMM Beta Release

betacoverThanks to sponsorship and feedback from Fortify, we’ve finished an initial release of the Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) that is now available on the downloads page. Everyone is encouraged to review and provide feedback either directly to me or through discussion on the OWASP-CMM mailing list. The working goal is to have a solid 1.0 release in a few months after public review and feedback from organizations using the model and vendors in the software security space.
