Has your organization implemented a Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) that integrates cybersecurity considerations at each phase for all systems, hardware, software, and services?

Explanation

A Secure Development Lifecycle ensures cybersecurity is built into products from requirements through deployment and maintenance, rather than added as an afterthought. This includes security requirements gathering, threat modeling during design, secure coding practices, security testing during development, and security validation before release. It also covers post-deployment security monitoring and update processes. Evidence could include SDL documentation showing security activities at each phase, security requirements templates, threat modeling artifacts, secure code review checklists, security testing results, and deployment security validation reports.

Implementation Example

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
