SDLC Gap Analysis compliance and audit

What it is

A Secure SDLC gap analysis assesses how security is built into each phase of the software development lifecycle against recognised practices such as NIST SSDF and OWASP SAMM. It identifies where threat modeling, secure coding, code review, dependency and secrets scanning, and testing are missing, then provides a roadmap.

Who must comply

Software companies, SaaS and product teams, and any organisation building or heavily customising applications, especially those facing customer security reviews or ISO/SOC 2 secure-development controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

A pen test finds vulnerabilities in a finished application at a point in time. A secure SDLC gap analysis fixes the process that produces vulnerabilities, embedding security into design, coding, testing and CI/CD.

Yes. Both expect secure development controls (ISO 27001 Annex A 8.25-8.31; SOC 2 change-management criteria). We map our findings to your certification controls.

No. The assessment runs alongside normal delivery: we review existing artefacts, interview teams and observe the pipeline, then phase the roadmap so security controls land incrementally without stopping releases.
