How to Do It
Practical integration of secure release and deployment practices into the software lifecycle
Practical integration of secure release and deployment practices into the software lifecycle
Technical and operational indicators for the assessment of the effectiveness of the security controls in the deployment process and release management, with thresholds by risk level and mapping to the cross-cutting SbD-ToE governance dimensions.
Organisational policy that defines the formal go/no-go decision process for software releases, including approval authorities by criticality level, separation between automatic signal and human decision, formal acceptance of residual risk and recording of evidence, proportional to the criticality level (L1, L2, L3).
Organisational policy that defines the requirements for the formal approval of software releases, including a pre-release security checklist, an automated compliance gate, go/no-go criteria, an immutable decision artefact and end-to-end commit→pipeline→release traceability, proportional to the criticality level (L1, L2, L3).
Cross-cutting organisational policy that defines the traceability requirements between requirements, controls, validation evidence, build artefacts and operational events, ensuring that the security posture is auditable continuously and in proportion to the application's risk level.
