Static Application Security Testing Implementation

Role
Project Manager
Timeline
Jan 2026 – Apr 2026
Tool
OpenText Fortify SAST
Progress at handover
~39% complete

Overview

Implementation of an application security scanning solution (SAST) integrated into CI/CD pipelines for an energy-sector client — my first project extending beyond traditional IT infrastructure into application security.

Role

As Project Manager, I coordinated between technical teams and project stakeholders across implementation, testing, risk, and milestone tracking.

Challenge

Application security tooling touches development workflows directly, which means technical integration (rule sets, CI/CD pipelines) and stakeholder expectations both need active, ongoing coordination — not a one-time handoff between technical and non-technical teams.

Approach

I managed the project through implementation, rule set configuration, and testing, keeping milestones visible to stakeholders while coordinating technical execution with the security and engineering teams. Knowledge transfer and handover were planned in as part of delivery, not an afterthought.

Scope

  • Project Management Plan development
  • Application security solution implementation using OpenText Fortify SAST
  • Installation, configuration, and CI pipeline integration
  • Static code analysis tool configuration and rule set updates
  • Security scanning integration across multiple applications
  • Testing and User Acceptance Test (UAT)
  • Knowledge transfer
  • Project handover

Result

Led the project from initiation through the handover phase (January–March 2026), ensuring structured planning, execution, and stakeholder alignment. Achieved 39% project completion with all key milestones on track prior to handover, and established structured tracking and risk monitoring to support continuity after transition.

Key Takeaway

Standing up a centralized security platform is as much about repeatable process and stakeholder alignment as it is about the technical integration itself — structured tracking and a clear handover are what make a transition sustainable.
