Security Journey launches enterprise-grade security and accessibility features for world-class secure coding training platform

Security Journey, a pioneering secure coding training provider, announced support for WCAG, SCIM and continued compliance with SOC2 Type 2, which are pioneering industry standards, making it the most secure and accessible AppSec training platform on the market.

New capabilities and features

The new capabilities mean large enterprises can now provide application security education to their development teams from a platform that meets security, global accessibility, and automated user provisioning requirements. 

These features ensure that in-depth training programmes are provided to all learners including those who are sight and hearing-impaired, streamline user access and lifecycle management, and provide additional assurances on the rigorous security of the platform itself.

Security Journey platform

Specifically, the Security Journey platform now supports:

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Section 508 (US) and EN 301 549 (EU)

• These accessibility standards/guidelines focus on ensuring web content such as text, images, sounds, code or markup that defines structure and presentation can be understood by people with disabilities
• Security Journey lessons now provide captions and “alt text” for images so that learners can see and hear content using assistive technologies
• Learner interface and over 800 lessons have accessibility features
• This is an industry first for an application security training provider

System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM)

• SCIM is an open standard for automating user provisioning across domains, reducing the time and complexity typically associated with the process
• It removes the need for manual user management and minimises human error, meaning programme admins can spend more time with learners

System and Organisation Controls (SOC) 2 Type 2

• SOC2 is an international standard designed to help service organisations provide assurance about their security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls
• Security Journey customers can be confident that their sensitive data will be handled in line with industry best practices

“I believe this marks a new maturity level in the market–making it appealing for large enterprises to move from less effective home-grown training to an in-depth progressive programme built by AppSec experts.”
