OWASP SAMM assessment beyond the spreadsheet

AppSec maturity still lives in a spreadsheet.

The official model (OWASP SAMM) ships a toolbox in Excel and Google Sheets. It works. It also stalls: a forked version, a broken cell, a scorecard nobody updates after the first round.

We see the same pattern on teams that already have scan, policy, and tickets: the board asks “how is our SAMM?” and the answer becomes an improvised slide.
