Rapier Solutions – Security Development Lifecycle Policy with CMMC Integration

Rapier Solutions is dedicated to embedding security throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), ensuring our products and services are resilient against evolving cyber threats. In alignment with the Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework, our Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) policy integrates industry best practices and regulatory standards to foster a culture of security and proactive risk management.

Key Components of Our SDL Policy:

1.  **Identification of Sensitive Information and Critical Systems**: We systematically identify and classify sensitive data and critical infrastructure to prioritize their protection throughout the development process.
2.  **Incorporation of Standards and Regulations**: Our SDL incorporates the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Information Security Standards, along with applicable local, state, and federal laws, and relevant ethical standards, ensuring compliance and ethical responsibility.
3.  **Definition of Security Goals and Objectives**: We establish clear security goals and objectives that guide our development teams in implementing effective security controls and measures.
4.  **Strategic Planning and Implementation**: We develop comprehensive plans to achieve our security objectives, ensuring that necessary mechanisms and resources are in place for successful execution.
5.  **Continuous Monitoring and Improvement**: Our SDL includes ongoing assessment and enhancement of security practices to adapt to emerging threats and technological advancements.

Integration with Modern Development Practices:

Recognizing the dynamic nature of software development, we have integrated our SDL policy with contemporary methodologies such as DevSecOps. This integration ensures that security is a shared responsibility across all development stages, promoting collaboration between development, security, and operations teams.

Alignment with CMMC Framework:

Our SDL policy aligns with the CMMC framework, which consolidates various cybersecurity standards and best practices into a comprehensive model. The CMMC framework is structured into multiple maturity levels, each representing the organization’s progression in cybersecurity practices. By adhering to these levels, we ensure that our security practices are robust and compliant with industry standards.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement:
