The Secure SDLC Policy serves as the foundational document for implementing security throughout the software development lifecycle in accordance with Swiss regulatory requirements. This policy is essential for organizations developing software in Switzerland, particularly those handling sensitive data or operating in regulated industries. It incorporates requirements from the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP/DSG), Swiss financial regulations where applicable, and international security standards. The policy should be implemented when establishing or updating software development practices to ensure security is embedded from the initial planning stages through to deployment and maintenance. It provides comprehensive guidance on secure coding practices, security testing requirements, and compliance measures specific to the Swiss regulatory environment.
