Software Quality and Security Standards Compliance

Ensure your software complies with the standards critical to customers and regulators

Ready to get started?

If your organization manages payments, handles sensitive customer or patient data, or operates in a regulated market, you may need to demonstrate compliance with specific standards to maintain customer trust and avoid legal or regulatory penalties.

View laws and regulations View standards, policies, and guidelines

Build compliance into your SDLC

Synopsys tools and services can integrate software testing into development workflows, focus analyses and remediation on compliance objectives, and report against specific software standards.

Achieve compliance with help from Synopsys

Laws and regulations

Laws and regulations are the system of rules that a country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and that it may enforce with penalties.

In the U.S., Congress passes bills that the president then signs into law. Once a law is in place, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) translates it into policy for federal agencies to implement and comply with.

Synopsys tools, services, and eLearning can help support your compliance goals associated with laws and regulations such as those listed here related to software quality, security, safety, privacy, and data protection.

Standards, policies, and guidelines

Policies in the U.S. government are created by OMB or other agencies in response to laws and executive orders to create implementation guidance for government or internal agencies. This guidance can reference relevant standards and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) special publications (SPs).

Guidelines provide direction on how to comply with and implement laws, regulations, and policies.

Standards provide the basis for demonstrating compliance with laws, policies, and regulatory guidelines.

Synopsys tools, services, and eLearning help enable compliance with standards, policies, and guidelines such as those shown below related to software quality, security, safety, privacy, and data protection.
