Abstract

This standard outlines the functions within the Secure By Design (SbD) process, aligned to project stages, to ensure a consistent approach to cyber security is achieved throughout a system’s development. The purpose of this standard is to define an approach to ensure that all products / solutions are assured in a repeatable, structured and consistent way. This will enable security controls to be designed into solutions at an early stage, ensuring the secure delivery of solutions across policing, whilst identifying and managing risk to within risk appetite.
This standard adheres to the National Policing Community Security Policy Framework and is a suitable reference for community members, notably those who build and implement IT systems on behalf of national policing.
