With all the recent SDL excitement of the new TFS template, which appears on the surface to be a nice concept suffers from the fact that is doesn’t appear fundamentally integrated into the other templates yet (more on that another time). So after looking into this a little I completely missed the fact the web and Word documentation was updated.
The SDL blog http://blogs.msdn.com/sdl/archive/2009/05/28/a-note-on-the-recent-sdl-4-1-process-release.aspx highlighted this fact, and is really what pointed me to get the latest documentation. Below is an excerpt of the changes in the documentation:
Changes in This Version
Corrected typographical errors and added guidance regarding SDL security requirements and security recommendations. Additional requirements and recommendations for line-of-business (LOB) applications have been added.
- Phase Two: Design
- Three new security requirements
- Phase Three: Implementation
- Ten new security requirements
- Twelve new security recommendations
- Phase Four: Verification
- Four new security requirements
- Two new security recommendations
- Phase Five: Release

- Security Development Lifecycle for Line-of-Business Applications
So for those out there definitely check out the SDL blog and if you are following SDL make sure you get the latest revision of the documentation. Next time I’ll make sure I that dont miss the crown jewels!
