Secure SDLC: Building Secure Software, from Start to Finish

<p>A secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC, or secure SDLC) is the practice of embedding tailored cybersecurity measures into software during requirements elicitation, design, development, testing, and deployment.</p>

At every stage, security experts apply a specific set of practices to address potential risks, ensuring that security is integrated seamlessly into the software lifecycle. This helps the development team detect and mitigate vulnerabilities early, protect sensitive data, and ensure regulatory compliance.

<p>In traditional software development, security-related activities such as code reviews and security testing often happen once software is built, leading to the untimely discovery of hidden vulnerabilities and increased security risks.</p>

<p>At Apriorit, our approach integrates security into every phase of the SDLC, from the first day of the project. Our experts enhance the product’s security by planning testing strategies in advance, implementing advanced data protection measures, following DevSecOps principles, and conducting continuous security assessments throughout the development process.In traditional software development, security-related activities such as code reviews and security testing often happen once software is built, leading to the untimely discovery of hidden vulnerabilities and increased security risks.</p>

At Apriorit, our approach integrates security into every phase of the SDLC, from the first day of the project.

<p>Implementing a secure SDLC can be complex, as this process requires introducing significant changes to the familiar ways of delivering software. Your team may need to adjust its internal culture and adopt new tools, technologies, and approaches.</p>

At Apriorit, we have already overcome these challenges and perfected our approach. Our team is fully aligned with secure SDLC best practices. This allows our clients to confidently outsource their most demanding development tasks to us while their in-house teams focus on other business-critical tasks.

<p>Apriorit incorporates relevant compliance measures right from the stage of requirement elicitation. Our team of business analysts and security experts identifies relevant standards and regulations for each project, ensuring that they are fully integrated into the software’s architecture and development process.</p>

All code written by Apriorit specialists undergoes regular reviews and audits to verify security and compliance. We maintain strict adherence to industry-recognized security standards such as OWASP, NIST, and CIS Benchmarks, as well as to international and industry-specific regulations, laws, and standards like the GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

<p>By addressing security risks early in the development process, Apriorit’s secure SDLC helps our clients minimize the likelihood of delayed discovery of costly vulnerabilities. Early detection and fixes of cybersecurity issues reduce the need for extensive post-release patches and mitigate potential downtime, significantly lowering long-term support and maintenance costs.</p>

Delivering resilient and stable software, we also help our clients reduce operational disruptions and ensure smooth, cost-effective product lifecycle management.
