Our SaaS platform is preparing for ISO 27001 certification. What evidence do we need for A.8.28 (secure coding)?
ask-Gareth
For ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A 8.28 you need documented secure-coding standards, evidence they are applied, and evidence of review. In practice auditors look for four things:
- A written secure-coding standard referencing OWASP ASVS or equivalent.
- Developer awareness — training records or onboarding sign-off.
- Enforcement in the pipeline — SAST/DAST results, PR review checklist.
- Periodic review of the standard, with the last review dated and owned.
Want me to draft the secure-coding standard using your tech stack?
