ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
A company with Agile teams building microservices in Java and Python wants to reduce recurring injection flaws by creating and enforcing secure coding standards. Which approach is most effective for integrating these standards into everyday development activities?
Schedule semi-annual classroom training sessions covering the OWASP Top 10 for all staff.
Adopt established language-specific secure coding guidelines and embed automated static analysis and peer code-review checks for compliance within each sprint.
Rely on external penetration tests at the end of each release cycle to detect coding errors.
Publish a single, language-agnostic security policy document and require developers to sign it annually.
The most effective way to make secure coding standards stick is to adopt well-recognized, language-specific guidance (such as OWASP ASVS for web applications or CERT secure coding standards for Java and Python) and bake compliance checks into the team's normal workflow. Automatically running static analysis or linters during each commit or build flags violations early, while mandatory peer code reviews ensure humans also verify that new code follows the rules. One-off policy acknowledgments, infrequent training, or relying mainly on late-stage penetration tests provide value but do not continuously reinforce proper practices throughout development, so they are far less effective at preventing injection flaws from entering the code base.
