Getting the team onboard
To keep their developers and testers up to date with constantly evolving cyber security standards and practices, Laybuy introduced SafeStack’s ongoing Secure Development training program.
SafeStack’s programs were top of mind for Laybuy, as they’d been recommended by colleagues in the industry and also by independent cyber security advisors.
Laybuy started the process of evaluating SafeStack by doing a free trial, and then asking for their team’s opinion on the training.
Most of the team already knew of or had heard about SafeStack and were very enthusiastic about getting full-time access to it.
Since Laybuy introduced SafeStack training, the quality of their code has improved, as their development and quality assurance teams now think about code with security practices in mind. This allows Laybuy to meet PCI DSS compliance requirements, with their assessor describing Laybuy’s security training efforts as “simply outstanding”.

Adding value by delivering unique content
Laybuy’s feedback on SafeStack has been excellent, with their team describing the Secure Development training content as “unique, with the information crafted by experts, not copy-pasted from different sources all over the internet”.
The simple, easy-to-use interface of SafeStack’s learning platform makes it straightforward for Laybuy’s team to train at their own pace, working through courses and modules in an order that suits them — all of which helps them weave security into their everyday software development practice.
We feel privileged to support Laybuy in making their software more secure and we look forward to seeing their international growth continue.
I would recommend SafeStack to development teams striving to produce good, secure products. The current tendencies in the IT industry emphasize that security is paramount for software development, and SafeStack is one of the best solutions in the industry to help our teams to achieve modern security standards.
