DevSecOps & Secure SDLC Engineering

About The Standard Domain

The DevSecOps & Secure SDLC Engineering domain defines how organizations embed security into software delivery and engineering workflows across the entire software development lifecycle.

It establishes expectations for secure development, pipeline enforcement, testing, integrity checks, controlled promotion, and evidence-backed release discipline to reduce risk and deliver trusted software at scale.

Why Adoption is Necessary

Architectural Clarity

Provides a shared blueprint for integrating security into SDLC processes, roles, tools, pipelines, and engineering workflows.

Consistent Engineering Expectations

Aligns teams on DevSecOps controls, pipeline practices, quality gates, release discipline, and security requirements.

Measurable Verification

Defines verifiable security gates and quality checks across the pipeline for continuous validation.

Stronger Evidence

Supports traceable build, test, release, and deployment evidence for assurance, accountability, and compliance.

How The Standard Works

Requirements

Define the security and quality requirements for code, pipelines, artifacts, and releases to ensure trusted software delivery.

Technical Specifications

Provide the methods, controls, and tooling specifications needed to implement secure SDLC and DevSecOps practices.

Verification and Validation

Define how to test, scan, verify, and validate pipeline gates, releases, and artifacts for trust and integrity.

Implementation Guidance

Offer practical guidance, patterns, and best practices to implement DevSecOps and secure SDLC engineering effectively.
