The SDLC Policy document serves as a crucial governance framework for organizations developing software within Swiss jurisdiction. It is designed to establish standardized procedures and controls throughout the software development lifecycle while ensuring compliance with Swiss regulations, particularly the FADP/DSG and related information security requirements. This policy document is essential for organizations seeking to maintain consistent development practices, manage risks effectively, and demonstrate regulatory compliance. The SDLC Policy includes comprehensive guidelines for all development phases, security controls, data protection measures, and quality assurance procedures, making it particularly relevant for organizations handling sensitive data or operating in regulated industries within Switzerland.
