Episode 8 — Walk the SDLC With Security and Privacy Integrated at Every Stage
This episode connects the system development life cycle to GRC outcomes, showing how security and privacy requirements should be integrated from planning through maintenance, not bolted on at the end. You will learn how governance sets expectations for secure design, how risk management informs architecture and control selection, and how compliance requirements shape documentation and testing. We discuss practical SDLC touchpoints like requirements definition, threat and privacy impact considerations, secure configuration baselines, change control, and release approvals. The episode includes exam-oriented examples of what evidence looks like at each stage, such as design reviews, test results, and approval records that support assessment readiness. Troubleshooting guidance focuses on common breakdowns like unclear scope, missing approvals, and changes that invalidate prior evidence without triggering reassessment.
