DEV-04 Safety training and awareness programme regarding continuous software delivery and associated systems…
Run a recurring, audience-specific security training and awareness programme for internal and external staff on standards and methods of secure software development and delivery and on the tools involved, and refresh it as policies, roles and tooling change.
Source: BSI C5 (121-criteria catalogue), DEV-04. The statement above is our statement of the clause, read from the published text and cited so you can check it against the official text, not the instrument verbatim. Open BSI C5 (121-criteria catalogue) in the compliance library.
The edition of the catalogue is not stamped here; check the edition your attestation is issued against.
These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.
