OWASP SAMM - Evaluating 'Not Applicable' in Security Practices: A Balanced Approach

The blog post "The 'Not Applicable' Question" on the OWASP SAMM (Software Assurance Maturity Model) website discusses the challenge of determining when a security practice or requirement is genuinely "not applicable" to a specific project or context. It emphasizes the importance of carefully evaluating each case to ensure that dismissing a requirement does not introduce security risks. The post provides guidance on how to document and justify "not applicable" decisions and highlights the need for a balanced approach to maintain security without overburdening the development process.
