Security in SDLC

Are any ISO policies directly related to SDLC (requirements, plan, design, code, test, release) ? We want security testing built into the SDLC. Is it the A_14 Secure Development Policy?

Answer: The whole section A.14 from ISO 27001 Annex A can provide you support for security testing to be included in you SDLC:
- From control A.14.2.1 (Secure development policy) you can get support to establish high level rules for security testing (e.g., the need to perform security testing).
- From control A.14.1.1 (Information security requirements analysis and specification) you can get support to establish security requirements for your systems (e.g., system should fail securely in case of error).
- From control A.14.2.8 (System security testing) you can get support to establish how to perform security testing (e.g., white/black box testing).

And finally, from the control A.14.3.1 (Protection of test data) you can establish directives to protect testing data, so the tests conditions can emulate the real environment as best as possible without putting t he real data at risk.
