Our Approach
Software security is critically important to HCL and our valued clients. The HCL security strategy covers all aspects of our business, including corporate and organizational security policies, incident management and response, business continuity and disaster recovery, secure software development processes, and privacy.
HCLSoftware prioritizes Trust, Security and Privacy across our entire product suite. We ensure leading edge security best practices are a core part of all stages of our software development lifecycle before any product is released to market. This includes comprehensive security scanning techniques, robust penetration testing and threat modelling at all levels of the application and infrastructure stack. We use our own products in addition to leveraging a diverse set of third-party researchers and tools, to test comprehensive capability across all levels. Following application introduction, we continue to constantly assess its risk profile and immediately initiate any additional remediation measures, if necessary.
The resources you see below proudly demonstrate HCLSoftware’s commitment to the Trust, Security and Privacy of our products.
