Why buyers ask this
Insecure code is a main source of vulnerabilities, so buyers look for controls built into how you ship.
What a strong answer includes
- Mention code review requirements, branch protection and separation of duties.
- Cover automated testing, dependency and secret scanning in CI.
- Say how production deploys are approved and logged.
Sample answer to adapt

Evidence to attach
- Branch protection settings
