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.

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.

This keeps your security team focused on fixing issues rather than managing spreadsheets.
