What the assessment evaluates

  • Culture

    Collaboration, shared ownership, trust, and learning across Dev, Sec, and Ops.

  • Plan and develop

    Whether security, risk, and compliance enter design and planning early enough.

  • Build and test

    Automated testing, scanning, artifact trust, and actionable developer feedback.

  • Release and deploy

    Approval, environment promotion, validation, rollback, and release evidence.

  • Operate

    Infrastructure ownership, automation, patching, resilience, runners, and access boundaries.

  • Observe and respond

    Shared visibility, detection, incident response, postmortems, and improvement loops.

Why delivery confidence breaks down

These gaps often stay invisible while pipelines are green. They appear when delivery must be proven under audit, compliance, or incident pressure.

  • Security arrives late

    Findings become rework, delays, or accepted risk at the worst possible moment.

  • Teams stay fragmented

    Dev, Sec, and Ops communicate through hand-offs instead of shared evidence.

  • Pipeline trust is assumed

    Build provenance, dependencies, secrets, and artifacts are not consistently validated.

  • Release control varies

    Approvals, environments, rollback thinking, and exceptions change by team.

  • Runner ownership is unclear

    Isolation, access, capacity, queues, and cost are nobody's complete responsibility.

  • Response starts too late

    Monitoring is fragmented, and customers detect delivery-related impact first.

What you receive

  • Total maturity score

    A score out of 40 mapping to one of four bands: Exposed, Emerging, Governed, or Provable.

  • Six-dimension breakdown

    See your strongest area and which dimensions are pulling delivery confidence down.

  • Priority gaps

    The three weakest dimensions identified, each with a recommended next move.

  • Recommended next move

    Specific actions for each gap based on the delivery-control model.

Advanced

Your DevSecOps practice is well established. Security is integrated into many stages of the software lifecycle, and teams are using automation, shared workflows, and measurable controls to reduce risk. The next opportunity is to improve consistency, increase operational visibility, and connect DevSecOps outcomes more clearly to business value.

This is a high-level self-check. A deeper, organisation-specific DevSecOps review is the right next step before you act on these results.

Example only. Your result will reflect your actual delivery practices across all six dimensions.

How we handle your data

The assessment runs entirely in your browser. Your results are only shared if you explicitly choose to request a follow-up.

  • All scoring runs client-side. No answers are transmitted while you complete the assessment.
  • No account, login, or authentication is required to see your result.
  • You can optionally request a follow-up by email. Only then is your score sent to KineticSkunk.
  • Requesting a follow-up does not subscribe you to marketing. Communication is limited to the requested report.

Frequently asked questions

Approximately 3 to 5 minutes. There are 10 questions, each with four options.

No. The assessment runs entirely in your browser. No answers, scores, or personal information are transmitted or stored.

Each band represents how well delivery controls are integrated across the six dimensions. Exposed means controls are largely manual or late. Provable means they are integrated, visible, and trusted.

Yes. Refresh the page or restart at any time. Previous results are not saved.
