How to Meet ISO 27001:2022 Requirements with StackHawk's Shift-Left DAST

ISO 27001:2022 introduced significant changes to application security requirements, emphasizing secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices and continuous vulnerability scanning. Organizations are now required to demonstrate security measures throughout the entire SDLC, including development, testing, and post-deployment phases. StackHawk supports these requirements by providing CI/CD-native dynamic application security testing (DAST), which integrates vulnerability scanning directly into the SDLC, ensuring consistent and automated security validation without hindering development velocity. The standard mandates documented, repeatable processes for vulnerability management, secure coding guidelines, and developer training, alongside security testing for outsourced and third-party code. Compliance involves maintaining audit trails and evidence of systematic security processes, with StackHawk offering tools to generate the necessary documentation and metrics to prove adherence to ISO 27001 standards.
