OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model (DSOMM) for DPOs
What does OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model (DSOMM) require of a DPO?

Under OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model (DSOMM), which defines 6 controls, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
