The Secure SDLC Policy is essential for organizations developing software under Danish jurisdiction, where strict data protection and cybersecurity requirements apply. This policy document becomes necessary when an organization needs to establish or formalize its approach to incorporating security throughout the software development lifecycle. The Secure SDLC Policy addresses requirements from various Danish and EU regulations, including GDPR, the Danish Data Protection Act, and NIS2 Directive implementation. It provides detailed guidance on security practices, roles and responsibilities, compliance requirements, and specific procedures for each phase of software development. The policy is particularly important for organizations handling sensitive data, operating in regulated industries, or seeking to demonstrate compliance with Danish and EU security standards.
