What to Check
How to Test
Step 1: Review SDLC Documentation
Examine development lifecycle documentation for evidence of PW.8.2 practice implementation.
Step 2: Verify Tooling
# Check CI/CD pipeline configuration
# Verify security tools are integrated
# Example: Check for SAST/DAST in pipeline
grep -r "security\|scan\|sast\|dast" .github/workflows/ 2>/dev/null
grep -r "security\|scan" Jenkinsfile 2>/dev/null
Step 3: Assess Developer Awareness
Verify development team understands and follows PW.8.2 PW.8.2 practice.
