The organization must review its processes for managing the lifecycle of procured and self-developed IT services, IT systems, and IT products to ensure they remain effective, secure, and aligned with operational and security requirements.
- Define a scheduled review interval for lifecycle management processes covering acquisition, development, implementation, maintenance, and decommissioning.
- Trigger additional reviews when significant events occur, such as major incidents, technological changes, supplier changes, regulatory updates, or material changes in risk exposure.
- Evaluate whether lifecycle processes adequately address security requirements throughout all lifecycle stages.
- Identify gaps, improvement opportunities, or deviations from defined procedures.
- Document review observations, decisions made, and any required corrective or improvement actions.
- Assign responsibilities and follow-up actions to ensure identified improvements are implemented.
This ensures that lifecycle management processes remain current, risk-aware, and capable of supporting secure procurement, development, and maintenance of IT services, systems, and products.
