Secure by Design
Put in place the foundations required for embedding cyber security good practice in digital and information systems delivery, building resilient information systems and digital services
Cyberfort Secure by Design services enable organisations to implement the foundations required for embedding cyber security practices in information systems and digital delivery, building resilient digital services.
Working with organisations to make sure cyber security and resilience is built into systems from the beginning, so security is aligned to the organisations objectives and integrated with systems as design evolves. Our approach to Secure by Design removes focus on just achieving compliance and the pressures on the delivery and design teams. It empowers teams across an organisation to identify and manage security risks early in the lifecycle and offers the opportunity for innovation throughout a product or service lifecycle.
Key Challenges
Many organisations are designing products and services in silo’s which only meet minimum cyber security compliance standards. This is resulting in disparate cyber security environments, added complexity, higher risks and potential security breaches as products and services scale to meet user demands.
How Cyberfort can help
We ensure cyber security and resilience is built into systems, processes and policies from the start of a product or service lifecycle. This enables organisations to align security with business objectives, existing systems, and industry regulations. This Secure by Design approach empowers organisations to understand and improve security throughout a product or service lifecycle.
How Cyberfort can help
Improving risk identification and management throughout a product or service lifecycle
We put in place continual processes to identify and reduce threats, vulnerabilities and risks as part of a Secure by Design approach. This results in early opportunity to implement design changes and mitigation that maximise cost benefits in design and development, avoiding costly retrospective mitigation. This can include improvement of existing business processes and operations enabling effective risk management throughout a product or service lifecycle.
Reducing regulatory risks as products and services evolve
We help organisations identify and implement regulatory requirements into their products and services from the beginning of a lifecycle. Building and integrating security aligned to regulatory frameworks from the start, coupled with an appropriate audit structure, organisations can reduce the risk of non-compliance should applicable regulatory changes occur.
Security alignment across the organisation
We enable organisations to align security with business objectives as part of a Secure by Design approach. This makes sure security is focused on what the business needs to achieve, its mission and objectives, as well as addressing appropriate compliance requirement.
Agility, innovation and continuous improvement
We implement continuous improvement Secure by Design approaches throughout a product or service lifecycle. This supports innovation and agility by creating a security culture based on transparent and open stakeholder engagement, enabling informed risk management decisions that help organisations adapt and respond quicker to changing business requirements, emerging threats, and adopt cost saving new technology.
