ISO/IEC/IEEE 32675:2022 PDF

Overview

ISO/IEC/IEEE 32675:2022 (also published as IEEE Std 2675™‑2021) is an international standard that defines requirements and guidance for implementing DevOps to build, package, and deploy software and systems in a reliable and secure manner. The document frames DevOps as a set of processes, activities, and tasks that span the full software life cycle - from conception and development through production, utilization, support, and retirement - and addresses both internally developed and externally acquired software, including firmware and embedded software components.

Key Topics and Technical Requirements

• DevOps principles: mission first, customer focus, left‑shift (early defect prevention), continuous everything (integration, delivery, deployment), and systems thinking.
• Build, package, deploy: prescriptive practices and technical principles to ensure reproducible application builds, secure packaging, and controlled deployment processes.
• Security and reliability controls: emphasis on establishing effective IT controls, compliance practices, and secure-by-design measures across the pipeline.
• Collaboration and communication: defined practices to improve interaction among development, operations, quality assurance, security, procurement, and other stakeholders.
• Life cycle process model alignment: process outcomes and activities are aligned with ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2017 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015, enabling integration with existing software and systems engineering processes.
• Applicability and scalability: supports one‑of‑a‑kind systems, commercial distributions, customized/adaptable systems, and systems embedded in larger platforms; processes can be applied concurrently, iteratively, recursively, or incrementally.

Practical Applications

• Implementing continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery/deployment (CD) pipelines that include security and compliance checkpoints.
• Defining organizational practices for secure build artifacts, tamper‑evident packaging, and controlled release orchestration.
• Integrating DevOps controls into procurement and supplier management for outsourced software and third‑party components.
• Applying “left‑shift” strategies to move testing, vulnerability scanning, and compliance assessments earlier in development.
• Standardizing cross‑team communication and roles to reduce deployment failures and speed time to market.

Who Should Use This Standard

• DevOps engineers, release and deployment managers, site reliability engineers (SREs)
• Software architects, security engineers, QA/test leads
• IT operations, procurement teams, and project managers responsible for system acquisition or supply
• Organizations seeking to standardize secure and reliable build/package/deploy processes across projects and product lines

Related Standards

• ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015 (system life cycle processes)
