Reframing the OWASP Top 10 for Rapid Launches

Instead of listing generic risks, write the story of how an attacker could actually leverage an injection or broken access control path against your launch-day experience. Turn those stories into acceptance criteria so the engineering team understands the impact without translating security jargon.

Set up linting, dependency scanning, and basic dynamic analysis in the very first pipeline. Even lightweight GitHub Actions or GitLab CI jobs that fail on critical findings will keep regressions from entering production. Monitor false positives closely so the team continues to trust the guardrails.

Track every OWASP control as a backlog item with an owner, supporting documentation, and a planned revisit date. As the product evolves, update threat models and reprioritise controls that matter most. This keeps the Top 10 relevant instead of a one-time training exercise.
