Scope. 12 original software-delivery prompts. Not a source-code review, penetration test, supplier attestation or complete implementation of the NIST SSDF. Reference: OWASP secure software development (context only, not an endorsement).

What this assessment covers

The 12 prompts, grouped by area. Each one has a "what to look for" note and a concrete action inside the assessment.

Design

Are important trust boundaries recorded before implementation?
Are authentication and authorization decisions specified separately?
Are security requirements tied to misuse or failure cases?

Build

Are source changes reviewed before they reach a protected branch?
Are third-party components inventoried with accountable owners?
Are build credentials and artifacts protected from ordinary developer access?

Release

Do release checks cover high-risk security behavior?
Can the deployed version be connected to reviewed source and dependencies?
Are rollback and feature-disable decisions rehearsed?

Response

Can a reported weakness reach the right engineering owner?
Are remediation priorities based on context as well as a severity label?
Does retesting verify the failed control and affected variants?

How scoring works. Only rated prompts count toward the index. Not sure and unanswered prompts are reported separately and never scored as a pass or a gap. Gaps are listed highest priority first, each with a link to a matching template in the open GRC Documentation Kit. This is a conversation starter, not an audit or a certification.
