BairesDev AppSec Playbook

This private editorial reconstructs the security model BairesDev presents publicly: security embedded in delivery, automated evidence, explicit ownership, risk-based gates, and AI-assisted engineering governed by traceability.

Executive thesis

BairesDev's public position is not “buy a scanner.” It is an operating model: move security upstream, standardize controls in shared pipelines, make ownership and exceptions explicit, automate evidence, and measure remediation. The newer AI material extends the same logic to generated code: AI output remains untrusted until it passes the same tests, security checks, review, traceability and deployment controls as human-written code.

Source boundary

The playbook uses public BairesDev blog pages. It describes public positioning, not an internal BairesDev policy. Interpretations are labeled as such.
