ASCs are applied by translating security requirements into lifecycle controls that are planned, implemented, verified, monitored, and improved as applications evolve.
Application Security Controls (ASCs) are most effective when they align with how applications are actually built and changed. Instead of adding security only at the end, ISO/IEC 27034 encourages planning at both organizational and application levels so controls are embedded throughout development and maintenance.
Lifecycle application means controls are not only implemented but also verified through security verification processes, monitored in operation, and updated through continual improvement. This keeps security relevant when code, dependencies, and environments change.
The key is evidence at each lifecycle stage—requirements, implementation artifacts, verification outputs, and monitoring signals—so security can be managed, not guessed.
“Controls must survive change, not just pass a launch gate.”

It should produce traceable evidence that controls were implemented and tested, findings were managed, and monitoring supports ongoing assurance.
Incident management connects by using incidents to validate controls, improve detection and response, and drive corrective actions in the application security program.
In practice, it means building a structured cybersecurity program with clear ownership, risk-based controls, and repeatable processes for prevention, response, and improvement.
