Practical integration of secure release and deployment practices into the software lifecycle
Technical and operational indicators for assessing the effectiveness of security controls in continuous integration and delivery pipelines, with thresholds by risk level and mapping to the cross-cutting SbD-ToE governance dimensions.
Definition of automated policies in the pipeline with security gates that vary according to the risk level of the application.
Organisational policy that defines the security requirements for continuous integration and delivery pipelines, including mandatory gates, integrated scanners, environment separation, artefact signing, secrets management in the pipeline and promotion approvals, proportional to the criticality level (L1, L2, L3).
Canonical catalogue of security requirements for continuous integration and delivery pipelines (CIC-001 to CIC-010), with applicability by risk level and acceptance criteria for pipeline design, secrets management, runner isolation, artefact integrity and security gates.
Principles and controls to ensure a secure, validated and traceable deployment process in production environments
Canonical catalogue of security requirements for the deployment process (DPL-001 to DPL-011), with applicability by risk level and acceptance criteria for formal approval, artefact provenance, automated gates, rollback, deployment credentials, staging, post-deployment monitoring, release gates for agentic systems and end-to-end traceability.
Organisational policy that defines the requirements for the security testing strategy throughout the application lifecycle, including SAST, DAST, SCA, IAST, fuzzing and manual testing, with mandatory gates, finding triage SLAs and centralised management of results, proportional to the criticality level (L1, L2, L3).
