BSIMM is probably useful for government agencies, or some large organizations. But the vast majority of clients I work with don't have the time or need or ability to take advantage of BSIMM. Nor should they. They don't need a software security group.
I'm looking forward to what BSIMM Basic discovers when talking to small and mid-size developers. Many of the questions in the survey PDF assume that the respondent has at least thought of addressing software security, but not all questions assume the presence of an SSG, and there are even questions about the use of general top-n lists vs. customized top-n lists that may be informative.
