Secure Software Development (SDLC)

Prevents security flaws in software design by integrating security throughout the SDLC.

Tacking security measures on at the end of development often fails to address deeper design issues and managing the security of software, systems, and development processes can be complex. Many organisations struggle to integrate security controls effectively from the start, leading to potential gaps that can be costly to fix later on. 

A secure by design approach reduces the likelihood and impact of an information security incident by folding security controls into the entire software development lifecycle. Our Secure Development service ensures security is woven into every stage of your architecture and design so you can reduce vulnerabilities, meet regulatory obligations, and maintain stakeholder confidence.

Why Do You Need This?

Identify and implement security controls

Our Secure Development service identifies and integrates security requirements into your software architecture from its inception. By reviewing documented security architectures and conducting design workshops, we ensure your environment is primed to handle emerging threats.

Design with best-practice guidance

Leveraging trusted frameworks such as the NCSC’s Secure Design Principles, we offer recommendations rooted in proven industry standards. This helps you align your architecture with compliance mandates while minimising the risk of security incidents by embedding security controls early on.

Prevent costly rework

Building security in from the start is far more efficient and far less expensive than retrofitting it later. This approach reduces the likelihood of security incidents arising from flawed design and architecture decisions.
We ensure your architecture and planned implementations align with the NCSC’s Cyber Security Design Principles and other relevant guidance. Integrating security considerations at every stage from initial requirements to final design so you can reduce risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and avoid the costly repercussions of insecure software design. Our Secure Development service is here to help you build resilient, future-proof systems that protect both your business and your customers.
