Frequently Asked Questions
Security practices across your lifecycle, from governance and design to coding, testing, release, and operations. It does not assess the security of one application.
Commonly OWASP SAMM and NIST SP 800-218 (SSDF), or another model you follow. The model is agreed during scoping.
No. This review assesses maturity and gaps. A PCI Secure SLC assessment validates a software vendor against the Secure SLC Standard for PCI SSC listing. The review can help you prepare.
No. The review assesses practices and evidence. Application testing and code review are separate services.
Yes. Teams or products can be scored separately and compared, as agreed during scoping.
