So how does SD Elements work?

Step 1: Information Gathering

SD Elements gathers vital details about your technology stack, deployment environment, and compliance requirements in minutes through a dynamic survey directly or through integrations.

 

This means that by providing relatively limited details about your application directly or via integrations with systems of record, SD Elements’ built-in logic can automatically identify and help prioritize your next steps. The guidance it provides is also refined as you add information over time.
How SD Elements Works

Step 2: Developer-Centric Threat Modeling

SD Elements gathers information about your project and
automatically generates threat modeling diagrams. By automating
the generation of developer-centric software threat models, developers are able to efficiently identify threats and know exactly where to implement required countermeasures.

Step 3: Expert Assessment

SD Elements’ advanced decision-making engine automatically identifies risks, threats, and potential weaknesses based on the information gathered.

 

It then classifies the overall risk according to your predefined security and compliance policies, so you can take a risk-based approach to managing applications without compromising time to market.
How SD Elements Works

Step 4: Recommendations

SD Elements translates requirements into recommendations and controls which are seamlessly integrated with issue trackers such as Jira, VersionOne, or Azure Boards.

 

SD Elements draws from an always-evolving content library with thousands of recommendations, including code samples and test cases.

 

This library is mapped to regulatory standards from all over the world, ensuring your compliance recommendations stay current.

Step 5: Validation and Reports

SD Elements also tracks the security task completion, by integrating with testing tools like Veracode, Checkmarx, and Fortify.

 

Your dashboard helps you view quick metrics and instantly generates compliance status reports.

 

You can also drill down into each project, helping your security experts focus only on the most critical issues.
