Option D is interesting. A demo plus a penetration test sounds thorough.

I vaguely recall something about secure development practices in our coursework. Option A might help, but I’m not confident it’s the most effective step compared to the others.

I feel like option D could be a good way to ensure security, but I wonder how often vendors agree to third-party tests. It seems like a lot of trust is involved.

I think option C makes sense too, especially since we practiced DAST in our labs. But what if the test environment doesn't reflect the production environment accurately?

I remember we discussed the importance of getting SOC reports from vendors, so option B seems like a solid choice. But I'm not entirely sure if that's enough on its own.
