Standards generally don't mandate specifics and almost certainly nothing specific to SDLC. At least none I've heard of. Things like FIPS and ISO and SOC2 generally prescribe having a certain process, sometimes they can mandate some specifics (e.g. what ciphers for FIPS). Maybe there should be some release process standards that prescribe how this is done but I'm not aware of any. I think part of the problem is the standard bodies don't really know what to prescribe, this sort of has to come from the community. Maybe not unlike the historical development of other engineering professions. Today being compliant with FIPS doesn't really mean you're secure and being SOC2 compliant doesn't really mean customer data is safe etc. It's more some sort of minimal bar in certain areas of practice and process.
