hi craig,

Nice posting.  Don't forget the highest resolution chart which shows ALL
activities!  That one is my favorite.

Hi all!  List members might be interested in a blog post I've just
made here: http://bit.ly/ZEWluE

I attended the BSIMM Europe Open Forum last month, and one of the
topics that came up was how to show BSIMM assessment results usefully
on a diagram.  The spider chart as used in the BSIMM document is great
for a high-level visual comparison of a software security initiative
with an industry benchmark, but lacks detail of which specific
activities are undertaken.  At the forum, Sammy Migues shared
something he uses called an equalizer diagram, which is great for
showing gaps in coverage of software security activities, but lacks
comparison with a benchmark.

I wondered whether it would be possible to produce a diagram which
combines the advantages of both, and the post linked above describes
an attempt at that.

I'll be happy to discuss further either here or in the comments on the
blog.

Thanks!

- Craig Heath.
