Our expert-built database includes hundreds of security requirements, covering known vulnerabilities and compliance standards. This valuable piece of intellectual property is included in every edition of SD Elements.
Security requirements are quickly generated based on the type of application (target platform and programming language). Each individual requirement and solution is tailored for maximum relevance to the developer. Tasks are organized into logical Phases/Categories to match workflow and tool integrations.
Applications can communicate with SD Elements via well-documented RESTful APIs. This allows our customers to create their own custom dashboards and other remote functionality in the area of Documentation:http://docs.sdelements.com/
