Elevate cyber protection with Secure by Design

Our end-to-end centralized workflow management solution integrates cybersecurity by leveraging automation into the software development life cycle (SDLC). This allows organizations to address their security activities throughout the process and across multiple business teams, proactively elevating cyber posture and mitigating risk effectively.

Benefits include:

1

Brings ubiquity and agility to the end-to-end software development life cycle.

2

Makes security consumable to the business.

3

Provides centralized visibility and reporting to provide insight into each step of the security accreditation process.

4

Standardizes the assignment of security controls and provides visibility into whether controls have been implemented.

Organizations face cybersecurity threats while striving to meet business demands with rapid application development. Secure by Design is crucial because it embeds security throughout the SDLC without hindering innovation.

Automate your security compliance and secure your SDLC

Secure by Design automates security task management across teams, centralizing security and development tasks on a single platform.

Consolidated intake

Automated task creation

Centralized security assessments

Visibility into security controls

Standardized ATO

Secure by Design leverages a standardized intake form for security domains to identify the scope, inherent risk, and project requirements. Utilizing a consolidated intake form enables the identification of relevant security domains, establishing a detailed and standardized security approach.

Tasks are automatically created across security domains based on information provided during intake, establishing a central platform where multiple teams can track the completion of security activities, store design documentation, and view the status of control implementation.

The assessment framework and methodology should be standardized and mapped to a defined control library. Assessments are used to gather information from the project team at intuitive points in the design process. Assessments might include security architecture review, threat modeling, data security and privacy review, vulnerability testing, and vendor risk assessment.

Assigned security requirements and controls should be based on risk and predefined by policy. Secure by Design leverages policy-as-code to automate policy checks and compliance-as-code to provide automated governance to enforce organizational policies and demonstrate alignment with regulatory and business requirements.

With Authorization to Operate (ATO), approval is granted for release after review of the implemented security controls assigned to the project during intake. Approvals should be manually enforced through review boards/tollgates and automated in deployment pipelines.
