Streamline Your Secure Code Review Process
In today's development landscape, security can't be an afterthought. This Secure Code Commit Review Checklist is designed for IT teams, security professionals, and DevSecOps engineers who need to enforce consistent security standards across every code commit.
Whether you're working in a startup scaling fast or an established IT department managing multiple projects, this template helps you systematically verify that code changes meet your organisation's security requirements before they're merged into production.
What This Template Covers
This comprehensive checklist walks reviewers through critical security verification steps including secrets scanning results, dependency vulnerability assessments, code quality checks, and compliance with security standards like OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 requirements.
The form captures essential metadata about the commit, repository details, and reviewer information, then guides the security review process through structured sections covering authentication, authorisation, data handling, input validation, and more. Conditional logic ensures reviewers only see relevant questions based on the type of code changes being reviewed.
Built for Modern DevSecOps Workflows
This template works seamlessly with your existing security tools and CI/CD pipelines. Use Stepper to automate actions based on review outcomes—automatically notify developers of issues, create tickets in Jira for remediation, update your security dashboard, or route approvals to senior security engineers when high-risk vulnerabilities are detected.
Paperform's calculation and logic engine can score security risk levels based on findings, trigger different approval workflows for different severity levels, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks. All submissions are securely stored and can be exported for audit trails and compliance reporting.
