Secure software development across the entire company
The challenge
You want to ensure that the applications developed in your company are secure. But what does security mean for such different applications – and how do you recognize a reasonable level of effort for security? We help you to extend your existing processes so that every application becomes as secure as necessary – and not as secure as possible with incalculable efforts.
We don't know where we stand!
That's not a problem. Together, we will find out what basis already exists and build on it.
How do we know how much security is necessary and makes sense?
We support you in answering this question. Two goals guide us: real threats and your compliance goals.
We already have a service provider for penetration tests. Do we need to do more?
Definitely yes – but perhaps your teams are already doing more. We should find this out together and get on the same page so that all teams benefit from each other's achievements.
Our Solution
Together with you, we determine existing security measures and formulate the company goal. From the difference, we create a roadmap to achieve the goal. In addition to the technical goals, we place great emphasis on your corporate culture and the acceptance of the changes among the employees.
In a kick-off workshop, we will agree on your initial situation and sensible goals. If you are not yet able to name your goals, we will be happy to support you. We offer the workshop to you at an attractive fixed price.
We would be happy to then submit an offer for the identified follow-up measures, which you can commission from us or from another service provider of your choice.
Results
The workshop provides you with a clear picture of your status quo and suitable steps to achieve your goals. It enables you to start implementing improvements immediately afterwards.
Standards
We are familiar with numerous industry standards as well as cross-industry security standards. Please let us know early on if you have already set the achievement of a standard as a goal.
1. Kick-off Workshop
We analyze your IT landscape and processes and identify sensible and necessary improvements to achieve your goals.
2. Deep Dive with individual teams (optional)
If not all information is available in the necessary level of detail during the kick-off workshop, we can evaluate the status of individual teams ourselves. The focus is on processes, tooling, as well as security know-how and awareness.
3. Expertise and Awareness
The introduction of a secure software development process is most successful when those involved understand what is expected of them and why this change is taking place. We provide the necessary awareness and expertise to those involved and take them along on the journey.
4. Target-oriented Risk Mitigation
Together with the teams, we ensure that application risks are identified and assessed. This applies both to existing risks and to those that would arise from new implementations.
Based on the assessment, suitable countermeasures can be identified, prioritized, and implemented.
5. Support through Security Tools
The use of security tools is necessary to provide teams with timely feedback on vulnerabilities on an economically viable basis. Tools may already be in use in individual teams or company-wide.
Together, we evaluate the status quo, supplement and harmonize the tool landscape to ensure that vulnerabilities are quickly identified and can be resolved.
6. Secure Operations
As soon as the implemented applications go live, the task of secure operation inevitably arises – either in-house or at the customer's site. In both cases, application-specific attack patterns must be defined that need to be recognized. Depending on the criticality of the processed data, further measures and documents are legally required, e.g. by the GDPR or the CRA.
Together, we ensure secure operations and compliance with relevant regulations.
