- Existing development process does not consider security well enough
- Costs or delays due to security work are excessive. The security work is bottleneck in the development process
- Security related decisions are made ad-hoc, or are not documented for later reference
- Archiving a required security compliance needs separate actions beyond the secure development work done
- Development needs to systematically address technical GDPR requirements
- Security is seen as something pointless, bureaucratic, and not concerning the development
