security-architecture-validation

To enforce ISMS security architecture during pull requests, validate code changes against security-by-design practices. This ensures explicit policy references are present, secure development patterns are checked, and SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE.md documentation is updated within the change set.

Secure-by-design validation for code reviews is the process of checking code changes to ensure they comply with established ISMS policies. It requires explicit policy references and verifies that security architecture documentation is actively maintained alongside the code modifications.

To ensure SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE.md is updated with code changes, apply security architecture validation during PR reviews. This process enforces documentation updates and confirms that security-by-design practices are followed before any modifications are merged.

Yes, you need explicit ISMS policy references in your pull requests. Security architecture validation requires these references to verify that all code changes comply with secure-by-design practices and that security documentation is properly maintained.

Yes, you can use security architecture validation for audit preparation and security roadmap planning. It verifies that code changes follow ISMS principles, enforces documentation updates like FUTURE_SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE.md, and confirms security controls are in place across the codebase.

Security architecture validation focuses specifically on ISMS policy compliance, documentation updates, and secure development patterns. It requires manual integration during pull requests and code reviews, meaning it does not automatically detect vulnerabilities outside the defined security-by-design scope.
