Security is a critical aspect of software development, and secure coding practices help mitigate vulnerabilities before they become costly breaches. However, simply implementing a secure code training program is not enough—organizations need to measure its effectiveness to ensure developers are actually learning, applying, and benefiting from the training.
At Security Journey, we understand that organizations want to see measurable improvements in their security posture. That’s why we’ve developed a Secure Code Training Developer Survey, a comprehensive set of questions designed to assess the real-world impact of your secure coding program. Whether you’re looking to gauge awareness, measure engagement, or gather feedback for improvement, this survey will provide valuable insights to enhance your training efforts.
Why Conduct a Secure Code Training Survey?
Investing in secure code training is a smart move, but how do you determine its success? A well-structured survey can help you:
- ✅ Gauge Awareness & Knowledge Growth – Measure how much developers’ understanding of secure coding practices has improved after training.
- ✅ Assess Relevance & Application – Determine whether developers find the training content relevant to their daily responsibilities and whether they apply what they’ve learned.
- ✅ Measure Engagement & Motivation – Identify what aspects of the training resonate with developers, including interactive lessons, gamification, and hands-on activities.
- ✅ Evaluate Effectiveness & Impact – Understand how often developers implement security principles in their work and whether secure coding habits are improving across teams.
- ✅ Improve Training Programs – Collect feedback to refine training content, enhance user experience, and address gaps in security knowledge.
Without feedback, organizations risk providing training that is either too basic, too complex, or simply ineffective. A well-designed survey ensures you capture insights that lead to continuous improvement.
What’s Inside the Secure Code Training Developer Survey?
Our survey is designed to collect meaningful data on key aspects of a secure coding program, including:
- Awareness & Knowledge Growth: Understand how training has influenced developers’ knowledge of secure coding best practices.
- Training Relevance & Application: Assess how well the training aligns with real-world responsibilities and whether developers are applying what they learn.
- Engagement & Motivation: Identify the most engaging aspects of the training, including hands-on activities and gamification.
- Effectiveness & Impact: Measure the extent to which developers are implementing secure coding principles in their daily work.
- Ease of Use & Support: Evaluate how user-friendly the training platform is and the quality of support provided.
- Overall Satisfaction & Value: Gather insights on how well the training meets professional development needs and how it can be improved.
By incorporating structured and open-ended feedback, organizations can pinpoint what’s working and what needs improvement.
How to Use This Survey in Your Organization
