What is security testing in CI/CD?
CI/CD stands for continuous integration and continuous delivery, the automated pipeline that builds, tests, and ships code. Security testing in CI/CD runs checks such as SAST, dependency scanning, and secret scanning on every change. A failing check can block the change from merging or deploying.
What the buyer is really asking
Buyers want to know which security checks run automatically on every change and whether a failing check blocks the merge. This narrows the broader testing question to your pipeline.
Other ways buyers ask it
Every one of these wants the same answer:
- “Is security testing automated in your CI/CD pipeline?”
- “Do builds fail on high-severity findings?”
- “What security checks run on each commit?”
Evidence to have ready
- CI workflow definitions
- Required status checks on protected branches
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.
