Secure by Design – and secure by default
SolarWinds follows a defined software development methodology designed to increase the resiliency and security of our products. This process follows U.S. federal guidelines for secure software development as described in the National Institute of Standards & Technology Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF). Additionally, we follow guidelines described in the Enduring Security Framework (ESF) and the Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity (EO 14028).
- We have formed a cross-functional team of experts to review these guidelines and adjust our processes as required
- We conducted a thorough gap analysis of our development process against the controls recommended in the SSDF
- We identified which controls we met or did not meet
- We then adjusted our processes to meet the unmet controls, or developed alternate secure processes
- A detailed description of this process and our findings can be found here

We have made information security and data privacy foundational principles of everything we do, and we recognize the importance of passing regulations to advance information security and data privacy for citizens of the EU and elsewhere in the world. By designing products with privacy and security in mind, we are able to provide you with products that help you meet various aspects of these compliance regimes and to support you in creating a more secure environment.
