# Secure SDLC control plane

The [Secure Software Development Lifecycle for Distributed Teams](https://www.bairesdev.com/blog/secure-software-development-lifecycle/) is the most operationally specific source. Its thesis is that security failures in distributed delivery are operating-model failures caused by gaps in tooling, ownership and enforcement.

## Phase controls

| Phase | Minimum control | Evidence | Failure to prevent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planning | security requirements, risk classification, asset/data inventory | approved requirements and risk record | building an insecure design into scope |
| Design | threat model, trust boundaries, abuse cases, architecture review | model, decisions and accepted risks | unexamined attack paths |
| Development | secure coding, peer review, SAST, SCA, secret scanning | PR, scan results and remediation | defects and leaked credentials |
| Build | reproducible build, dependency validation, policy gates | build provenance and gate result | tampered or untraceable artifacts |
| Test | DAST/IAST, API and authorization tests, regression tests | test reports and triage | runtime flaws escaping static checks |
| Deploy | approval, IaC review, rollback plan, environment parity | deployment record and rollback owner | uncontrolled production change |
| Operate | monitoring, vulnerability intake, incident response, patch SLAs | alerts, tickets, postmortems | persistent exposure and slow recovery |

## Ownership model

Every finding needs an owner, severity, due date and escalation path. Every exception needs an approver, rationale, expiry and compensating control. Every rollback needs a named decision-maker. The blog's strongest insight is that an unowned finding is an architectural defect in the process.

## Distributed-team design rules

- Use shared CI/CD templates instead of team-specific security folklore.
- Standardize minimum controls but allow risk-based extensions.
- Put remediation and rollback ownership in the RACI.
- Track control coverage and remediation time across teams.
- Make the secure path the easiest path.
