Modern business operations, cloud infrastructure, mobile platforms, and digital infrastructure are based on applications. Nonetheless, code insecurity, fallacious code configuration, and the absence of formal protection verification may expose agencies to cyberattacks, statistical leakages, and regulatory infractions. IEC 27034 provides solutions to those risks by integrating security controls throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It also ensures that the application security is not considered a byproduct but rather a process that is risk-driven and integrated with the organizational security policy and IEC 27001 Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).
Get Certified IEC 27034-Aligned Application Security
IEC 27034 is not an independent certification standard, such as that of IEC 27001, but organizations apply its structure to establish safe development management. Conformity to IEC 27034 enhances compliance, customer confidence, vulnerabilities and cyber threats.
IEC 27034 Core Framework Components
| Organizational Normative Framework (ONF) | Defines internal security policies, guidelines, and reusable security requirements |
| Application Normative Framework (ANF) | Specifies security controls applicable to individual applications |
