From a startup to a multinational corporation the software development industry is currently dominated by agile frameworks and product teams and as part of it DevOps strategies. It has been observed that during the implementation, security aspects are usually neglected or are at least not sufficient taken account of. It is often the case that standard safety requirements of the production environment are not utilized or applied to the build pipeline in the continuous integration environment with containerization or concrete docker. Therefore, the docker registry is often not secured which might result in the theft of the entire company’s source code.
The OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model provides opportunities to harden DevOps strategies and shows how these can be prioritized.
With the help of DevOps strategies security can also be enhanced. For example, each component such as application libraries and operating system libraries in docker images can be tested for known vulnerabilities.
Attackers are intelligent and creative, equipped with new technologies and purpose. Under the guidance of the forward-looking DevSecOps Maturity Model, appropriate principles and measures are at hand implemented which counteract the attacks.

- matrix shows the dimensions, subdimensions and activities are described.
- Implementation Levels can be used to measure the current implementation level by clicking on the specific activities which have been performed.
- Ease and Value of Implementation is used for the maturity model development to see the ease and value of each activity to be able to compare it with activities within the subdimension and activities from other subdimensions.
- Dependenies shows the dependencies between activities
- Full Report prints all activities to be able to print it
In this video Timo Pagel describes different strategic approaches for your secure DevOps strategy. The use OWASP DSOMM in combination with OWASP SAMM is explained.
In case you have evidence or review questions to gather evidence, you can add the attribute "evidence" to an activity which will be attached to an activity to provide it to your CISO or your customer's CISO.
You can switch on to show open TODO's for evidence by changing IS_SHOW_EVIDENCE_TODO to true 'bib.php' define(IS_SHOW_EVIDENCE_TODO, true);

In case you would like to perform a DevSecOps assessment, the following tools are available:
- Usage of the applicaton in a
container. - Development of an export to OWASP Maturity Models (recommended for assessments with a lot of teams)
- Creation of your excel sheet (not recommended, you want to use DevOps, don't even try!)
- Install Docker
- Run `docker run --rm -p 8080:80 wurstbrot/dsomm:latest
- Browse to http://localhost:8080 (on macOS and Windows browse to http://192.168.99.100:8080 if you are using docker-machine instead of the native docker installation)
In case you would like to have perform an assessment for multiple teams, iterate from port 8080 to 8XXX, depending of the size of your team. In case the application should be visible, but the "Implementation Level" shouldn't be changeable, consider the following code:
#!/bin/bash
set -xe
IMAGE_NAME="<YOUR ORGANIZATION>/dsomm:latest"
rm -Rf DevSecOps-MaturityModel || true
git clone [email protected]:wurstbrot/DevSecOps-MaturityModel.git
cp data/* DevSecOps-MaturityModel/data
cp -a selectedData.csv DevSecOps-MaturityModel/selectedData.csv
cd DevSecOps-MaturityModel
docker build -t $IMAGE_NAME .
docker push $IMAGE_NAME
This approach also allows teams to perform self assessment with changes tracked in a repository.
- In the EC2 sidenav select Instances and click Launch Instance
- In Step 1: Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) choose an Amazon Linux AMI or Amazon Linux 2 AMI
- In Step 3: Configure Instance Details unfold Advanced Details and copy the script below into User Data
- In Step 6: Configure Security Group add a Rule that opens port 80 for HTTP
- Launch your instance
- Browse to your instance's public DNS
#!/bin/bash
yum update -y
yum install -y docker
service docker start
docker run -d -p 80:80 wurstbrot/dsomm:latest
- The dimension Test and Verifiacation is based on Christian Schneiders Security DevOps Maturity Model (SDOMM). Application tests and Infrastructure tests are added by Timo Pagel. Also, the sub-dimension Static depth has been evaluated by security experts at OWASP Stammtisch Hamburg.
- The sub-dimension Process has been added after a discussion with Francois Raynaud that reactive activities are missing.
- Enhancement of my basic translation is performed by Claud Camerino.
- Adding ISO 27001:2017 mapping, Andre Baumeier.
- Providing a documentation of how to use
dockerin the Juice Shop for simple copy&paste, Björn Kimminich.
