Secure Development Policy

Version 1.0Effective July 20, 2026Last reviewed July 20, 2026

Security requirements for the software development lifecycle.

Code reviews

All production code changes require peer review with attention to authentication, authorization, input validation, and data handling.

Dependency scanning

Third-party dependencies are scanned for known vulnerabilities. Critical findings are remediated on a risk-based timeline.

Static analysis

Automated static analysis runs in CI pipelines where applicable. Findings are triaged and tracked to resolution.

Secret management

Secrets are never committed to source control. Production credentials are stored in secure secret management systems.

CI/CD security

Build pipelines enforce branch protection, signed commits where configured, and least-privilege deployment credentials.

Vulnerability management

Security findings from scans, tests, and reports are tracked in a remediation workflow with severity-based SLAs.

Secure releases

Releases follow change management with rollback capability. Emergency patches are documented and reviewed post-deployment.
