The concept that spawned the creation of Turnaround Security had its roots beginning in 2014, with their founder working as an Enterprise Security Architect on a large government project. Faced with development leads that created system security plans that were lacking in quality, the ideas leading to AppSec DesignerTM were born. Prototypes were built and presented to various Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) chapter meetings, Shmoocon Epilogue, and the 2016 SABSA conference in Dublin, Ireland. A Provisional Patent application was filed in July 2017. In October 2017, they launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign to raise $60,000 for product development.
