Software Development Lifecycle Assessment
Identify gaps. Improve security. Strengthen your SDLC.
Security is often added too late in the development process, or handled inconsistently across teams. This creates blind spots, increases risk, and complicates compliance. Our assessment helps you pinpoint where security falls short in your Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and what steps to take next.
What we offer
We review how security is embedded in your software development lifecycle, from planning to deployment. Using recognized standards like OWASP SAMM, NIST SSDF, and ISO 27034, we identify gaps in tooling, processes, and team practices. You'll receive clear, actionable steps to improve your development approach.
Key benefits
- Insight into where security controls are missing or inconsistent
- A prioritized improvement plan for people, processes, and tooling
- Support for compliance with ISO 27001, NIS2, and DORA
- Flexible for Agile, DevOps, or traditional development models
How it works

How is this different from a Secure Architecture Review?
The Software Development Lifecycle Assessment looks at how you build software. The Secure Architecture Review looks at what you're building.
