Deployment controls: how to answer it in a security questionnaire

Usually asked as: “Is application deployment automated with proper controls?”

Updated

What are deployment controls?

Deployment controls govern how code reaches production. They include automated pipelines, required approvals, separate environments, and the ability to roll back a bad release. The aim is that no single person can push an unreviewed change to production.

What the buyer is really asking

Buyers want to know that production changes go through a repeatable pipeline and that nobody edits production by hand. Also say how quickly you can roll back a bad release.

Other ways buyers ask it

Every one of these wants the same answer:

  • “Is deployment to production automated?”
  • “Who can deploy to production?”
  • “How do you roll back a bad deployment?”

Evidence to have ready

  • CI/CD pipeline definitions
  • Deployment permissions
  • The rollback procedure

How Tyrvar answers this

Tyrvar treats every wording above as one question. You write the answer once, attach the evidence, and revisit it when your setup changes. Each buyer gets that approved answer no matter how their questionnaire words it. If you have not answered it yet, Tyrvar flags the question for you and does not make something up. Try it on your own questionnaire.
