To ensure both speed and security in agile projects, it's essential to integrate security into every stage of the development process. Start by adopting DevSecOps practices, where security is embedded from the beginning, not tacked on later. Implement automated security testing tools to identify vulnerabilities early without slowing down progress. Prioritize security in your sprint planning and make sure security-related tasks are given the same importance as feature development. Maintain open communication with all stakeholders to address security concerns promptly. By incorporating security into agile workflows, teams can move quickly while keeping systems secure.

For any new AGILE project - SECURITY/PRIVACY must take top priority. There must be ZERO compromise for AUDIT/LEGAL standards, TECH settings and security policies. Security/privacy are actually a fiduciary duty for all participants. Security & Internal audit teams should participate throughout the project. As good news, most corporate AGILE PM methodologies mandates security participation & signoff approvals. All sensitive fields must be protected & restricted. Best TECH/user security practices are needed (MFA, VPN) with LEGAL/AUDIT/SECURITY team approvals. Legal needs include: * SAS-70 * GDPR * CCPA * HIPAA * SOX/COSO/COBIT * PCI-DSS * SOC2 * NIST * ISO 27001

In agile projects, I recommend the following: 1. Integrate security early by applying a "shift-left" approach by involving security from the start of the development process. 2. Prioritize security risks by assessing and addressing security vulnerabilities incrementally based on their impact. 3. Automate testing by using automated tools for continuous security testing and compliance checks within each sprint. 4. Conduct regular reviews by scheduling periodic security reviews to ensure ongoing alignment with best practices. 5. Ongoing training: Provide the team with regular security training to stay up-to-date with evolving threats. 6. Balance with speed: Maintain rapid delivery by addressing security without compromising project timelines.
