If you’re going to do real security business, you have to go through the Cryptographic Module Validation Program.

Sadly, for the Bitcoin community, these programs are mostly avoided and despised. Typical certification takes 9-12 months costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. It a bit more due diligence than a commit that ‘runs’ along with podcast.
