Governance in SDLC

Develop the appropriate Policies, Processes, and Procedures for your organization’s application development lifecycle by integrating best security practices at every phase of software development. Our mission is to enable your organization to develop its applications in an agile, secure manner from conception, safeguarding your organization, reputation, business, and partners.

Our Approach

Ensure that security controls are in place at each stage of the application development lifecycle by aligning, developing, and implementing suitable Policies, Processes, and Technologies integrated into your business operations.

Governance in SDLC is fundamental because governance frameworks provide the structure and oversight needed to integrate security practices into the SDLC. By embedding security considerations into every phase of the SDLC, organizations can proactively address security concerns, reduce vulnerabilities, and enhance the overall security posture of their applications.

For instance, governance on SDLC ensures that security policies and standards are defined and enforced during the development process. This might include mandates for regular security assessments, the use of secure coding guidelines, and the integration of automated security tools. By following these governance directives, development teams can ensure that security is not an afterthought but a core component of the software development process.

In summary, Governance on SDLC establishes the framework and oversight necessary to incorporate AppSec practices throughout the software development lifecycle. This synergy helps organizations produce secure, reliable software while mitigating risks and complying with regulatory and industry standards.

What to expect from our team

Application Security Policies

We document general security guidelines to be followed during the development and operation of application solutions.

Secure Development Processes and Procedures

We outline the processes and procedures to be followed at each stage of the application development lifecycle to ensure security throughout. This may include guidelines for code reviews, security testing, vulnerability management, sensitive data handling, and security best practices.

Security Checklists

We assist teams with checklists to ensure that all security controls are considered at each stage of application development, such as authentication controls, API security, and threat protection.

Update and Maintenance Policy

We establish guidelines for the ongoing updating and maintenance of applications, ensuring that security patches are applied regularly and that older versions of software (legacy) are identified and safely phased out.
