Secure Software Development Lifecycle Compliance Audit

Secure Your Software Development with Comprehensive SDLC Compliance Audits

In today's threat landscape, embedding security into every phase of the software development lifecycle isn't optional—it's critical. This Secure SDLC Compliance Audit template helps IT security teams, DevSecOps engineers, and compliance officers systematically evaluate security controls, gate verifications, and testing integration across your development pipeline.

Whether you're preparing for SOC 2 compliance, ISO 27001 certification, or implementing internal security standards, this template provides a structured framework to assess code review coverage, security testing practices, vulnerability management, and access controls throughout your SDLC.

Built for Security and Development Teams

This audit form is designed for organizations that need to:

• Verify security gate compliance at each SDLC phase (requirements, design, development, testing, deployment)
• Assess code review coverage and secure coding practices
• Evaluate security testing integration including SAST, DAST, SCA, and penetration testing
• Document security controls for compliance and audit purposes
• Identify gaps in your secure development practices

Streamline Your Security Audit Workflow

Using Paperform's conditional logic, this template adapts based on audit findings—flagging critical issues and requesting additional documentation only when needed. You can embed calculations to automatically score compliance levels and use AI Insights to identify patterns across multiple audits.

Connect your audit workflow to your existing tools using Stepper to automatically create tickets in Jira, notify security teams in Slack, update compliance tracking in Airtable, or trigger remediation workflows based on audit severity. This keeps your security team focused on fixing issues rather than managing spreadsheets.

For organizations requiring digital sign-off on audit findings and remediation plans, integrate Papersign to capture secure eSignatures from development leads, security officers, and compliance stakeholders—maintaining a complete audit trail.
