Episode 14 — Integrate Security Tasks and Activities Into Any Development Methodology
This episode teaches how to embed security engineering into different delivery models, from traditional waterfall lifecycles to Agile and hybrid approaches, because the ISSEP exam cares about lifecycle fit and repeatability, not a single “correct” methodology. We define what it means to integrate security tasks as planned, measurable activities that produce artifacts, decisions, and evidence at the right time, such as security requirements, architecture reviews, test criteria, and operational readiness checks. You’ll learn how to map security work to phases or iterations without losing traceability, including how to handle backlog-driven development where scope shifts and “definition of done” matters. We also cover troubleshooting issues like security reviews that happen too late, security requirements that are too vague to test, or teams that confuse scanning with assurance. The outcome is a practical approach to security integration that survives changing schedules, changing code, and changing priorities while still producing exam-quality reasoning.
