Draft talk:Certified DevSecOps Professional

Submission notes: sources, COI disclosure, and reviewer requests

Conflict of interest disclosure

Per WP:COI, I am disclosing that I have direct financial affiliation with Practical DevSecOps or HYSN Technologies Inc. I have endeavored to write in a neutral, encyclopedic tone and welcome any edits to address residual bias.

Source transparency

I have audited citations against WP:NCORP and note the following:

• TechTarget SearchSecurity (2025) — Independent editorial; lists CDP alongside other certifications. Strongest qualifying independent source currently available.
• Black Hat USA 2018 — Conference listing for the founder's training course. Establishes organizational credibility.
• Hack In The Box (HITB) SecTrain — Independent conference listing confirming founder's standing in the security community.
• NICCS / CISA catalog — U.S. government directory listing. Cited for factual accuracy, not notability.
• Practical DevSecOps official website — Primary source used only for exam and course details.

An extensive search of Dark Reading, SecurityWeek, SC Magazine, CSO Online, Help Net Security, Infosecurity Magazine, and Forbes found no current coverage of this specific certification. I acknowledge the article may not yet fully satisfy WP:NCORP.

Request to reviewers

If declined, I respectfully request:

1. Specific guidance on which WP:NCORP criterion is unmet
2. Suggestions for what sourcing threshold would be sufficient for approval

I will continue seeking independent press coverage and update the article accordingly. AdityaaPatni (talk) 04:45, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Requesting review — draft pending over 2 months, references updated June 2026

Hello. This draft has been awaiting AfC review since 31 March 2026, now over two months. Flagging respectfully in case it was missed in the queue.

The article covers the Certified DevSecOps Professional (CDP), a cybersecurity certification that:

• Is listed in the CISA/NICCS national training catalog (U.S. government source)
• Is cited by TechTarget SearchSecurity among recommended certifications in its category
• Is associated with training delivered at Black Hat USA 2018 and multiple HITB international conferences (HITBSecConf Singapore and HITB CyberWeek 2020)

The draft was updated today with an additional independent citation and complies with WP:NPOV and WP:NCORP. Non-independent sources were removed in the April 4 revision. COI affiliation has been disclosed per WP:PAID.

Would a reviewer be able to assess this draft? Any feedback on what would strengthen the submission is genuinely welcome. Thank you. AP0796 (talk) 06:24, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
