As above + security champions in each team or area. However, it could be a challenge to get their time sometimes

A proper development guideline that incorporates security checks is helpful.  Automated checks of course help.  See also ISO 27001 controls for software security.

I would encourage all developers to play Juice Shop from OWASP https://owasp.org/www-project-juice-shop/ it is both sobering and gamified. Then review OWASP top 10 with them as a basic level. Finally encourage pipeline automation for any automated checks like burp sweet and other similar tools to check on a staging environment automatically. This way security audits you pay for in the future are only uncovering hard to find items, make the auditors work for it :)
