by tailoring the process to the specific risks facing the organization? -
ANSWERSoftware assurance maturity model (SAMM)
Which phase contains sophisticated software development processes that ensure that
feedback from one phase reaches to the previous phase to improve future results? -
ANSWEROptimizing
The activities for compliance include ensuring collected information is only used for
intended purposes, information is timely and accurate, and the public is aware of the
information collected and how it is used.

Which role is a training champion of software security, an advocate for the overall SDL
process, and a proponent for promulgating and enforcing the overall software product
security program? - ANSWERSoftware security evangelist (SSE)
Which role requires the technical capability to be trained as a software security architect
who then assists the centralized software security group with architecture security

analysis? - ANSWERMake a list of what you are trying to protect
