Secure Development Policy

Description

The Secure Development Policy is the foundational document that underlines commitment to security by establishing a comprehensive Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL). This policy serves as a guide for all employees, contractors, and third-party vendors engaged in the development, deployment, and maintenance of software and applications, emphasizing the integration of security from the project’s inception through its lifecycle. The SDL framework consists of five key phases: planning and design, development, testing, deployment, and monitoring and maintenance. Each phase has a focus on security, ensuring that security requirements are considered from the very beginning of a project. Moreover, vulnerability management, access control, and compliance are core components of this policy. Vulnerabilities are promptly identified, prioritized, and addressed, with strict access controls in place to safeguard sensitive environments and data.
