Streamline Application Security Program Management
Measure, Mature, and Meet Compliance Goals with Confidence
We help you roll out an AppSec program in minutes - not months.
Map your security requirements
Assign tasks
Track and measure progress
No two teams are the same.
Horizon is SafeStack’s structured AppSec program platform. It helps security leaders and teams plan, manage, and mature application security across their organisation. With Horizon, you can roll out a program that fits your team's size, culture, and development pace — without losing control or momentum.
What is Horizon?
Horizon gives you a structured foundation for application security — complete with assessments, task flows, and delegated responsibilities — so you can focus on driving progress, not chasing checklists.
Our structured approach means you can:
Assess your current security maturity against global frameworks like OWASP SAMM and NIST SSDF
Follow a clear program of one-off and repeating tasks to strengthen your security posture
Turn complex security frameworks into actionable tasks that development teams can complete themselves
Engage your entire team through delegated tasks and collaborative security practices
Mature your security practices over time with a measurable, step-by-step approach
For Security Leaders: Building a Security-First Culture
As a CTO or CISO, you understand that security isn't just about tools—it's about culture. Horizon helps you:
Measure your application security maturity in minutes using our built-in self-assessment tool
Create a bridge between development and security teams with shared visibility and accountability
Make security visible across your organization through clear metrics and progress tracking
Meet compliance requirements for frameworks like OWASP SAMM, NIST SSDF, and more
"We have given our dev teams easy to digest training, and safe coding skills, which has given our exec team confidence that we can protect our business and customer data. In turn, this has given our customers confidence that our software will protect them." - annalise.ai
For Security Teams: From Roadblock to Enabler
Horizon transforms your security team from gatekeepers to enablers by providing:
A structured program that eliminates guesswork around application security best practices
Customizable frameworks that adapt to your organization's unique context and resources
Clear delegation tools to distribute security responsibilities across teams
Progress tracking to demonstrate security improvements over time
“With so many of our company’s customers expecting a high standard of security andcompliance, SafeStack’s platform ensures my team are trained in best practice at every level from junior through to senior software contributors.” - Fastly
For Developers: Security That Works With Your Flow
Security shouldn’t slow you down. Horizon helps developers contribute to secure software without becoming security experts. Just clear guidance, quick actions, and visibility into how your work makes an impact.
Get manageable, specific tasks you can complete in minutes
Build security habits without interrupting delivery
Visualise how your team is improving over time
Learn best practices without formal training overhead
“It’s easy for developers to engage with and they don’t need to spend much time on it, just 15 min is enough.” - NAB
Without a structured application security program…
Security becomes reactive rather than proactive, waiting for incidents before taking action.
Technical debt accumulates as security issues are discovered too late in development
Development slows down due to last-minute security fixes and rework
Compliance becomes a scramble rather than a natural outcome of good practices
Customer trust erodes when preventable security incidents occur
The Horizon Method
-
1. Assess Your Application Security Maturity
Get your maturity level in minutes using our built-in self-assessment tool to measure against global frameworks like OWASP SAMM and NIST SSDF.
-
2. Follow the Structured Program Provided
Implement a structured program of one-off and repeating tasks to meet the requirements of OWASP SAMM (levels 1-3), NIST SSDF, and more. We transform complex security frameworks into clear, actionable tasks your development teams can complete themselves.
-
3. Engage Your Team and Delegate Tasks
Distribute security responsibilities across your organization, ensuring everyone contributes to your security posture. Our platform enables teams to mature their own security practices over time without constant security team oversight.
Platform Benefits: Why Horizon Works in the Real World
Make Security Part of Your Development Culture
This is not a magic technology—this is a platform and program that supports culture change in your team.
Take a Software Team-Centric Approach
Security is part of software quality and has to work alongside your existing security metrics.
Customize Your Program to Your Context
We show you what you need to do, how to scale it, and support your steps, which means whatever solution you find will work for your specific context.
Follow a Measurable and Visible Path
Security is a journey, and wherever you're starting, SafeStack will show you the overall route, the next steps to take, and how far you've come.
Transform Frameworks into Actionable Tasks
We turn complex security frameworks into practical, achievable tasks that development teams can complete themselves, allowing them to mature their own security practices over time.
Create a Bridge Between Development and Security
Build collaboration between traditionally siloed teams through shared visibility, goals, and responsibilities.
What Our Customers Say
-
![]()
"We're attempting to upskill a lot of developers to develop secure microservices, so it's a godsend being able to send people to the training to explain why we ask for some of the things that we do."
-
![]()
"As well as the knowledge and concepts, we're training developers how to think like attackers. If developers are learning how to break things, they'll subsequently learn how they can fix things."
-

"Sometimes security training is a matter of ticking a box, but with SafeStack you genuinely feel like you're leveling up your team's skills, which puts you in the best place to defend from real attacks, no matter what's 'on paper.'"
