The first purpose-built control plane for the UK Government Secure by Design mandate - from intake to SRO sign-off. One live record per project, evidence-mapped and audit-ready, in your own sovereign tenant.
A HIGH confidence profile - built on evidence, not asserted - demonstrates that a service has been delivered in line with the Secure by Design mandate’s ten principles. Run that continuous-assurance approach on an emailed spreadsheet spread across ten systems and you cannot show that adherence: to an auditor, an internal assurance reviewer, or yourself.
The Secure by Design mandate asks for a HIGH confidence profile built on evidence. The official self-assessment tracker is fine for a single project, but across a portfolio the real evidence scatters across SharePoint, Teams, Jira and inboxes, and the file falls out of date. The two columns below contrast that fragmented, assert-it-at-the-gate reality with one live record where gap-to-HIGH is always visible.
Everything the mandate needs sits in one place - the policy model, the lifecycle, evidence, workflow, the confidence calculator, the pack generator and an audit record - so Secure by Design is something you run, not just something you record.
One live source of truth for Secure by Design confidence, per project and across the portfolio.
Every answer linked to the evidence behind it - graded, reusable and carried across phases.
A missing-information panel and a gap-to-HIGH list, so nothing surfaces late at the gate.
A named owner on every activity - completion is somebody’s job, not nobody’s.
Executives sign off against a live, auditable record they can actually defend.
The governance pack builds itself from the live record - no midnight assembly.
The Secure by Design mandate comes down to a few hard facts: ten mandatory principles, every central-government department and ALB in scope, and one bar - HIGH confidence - that you have to evidence rather than assert. The control plane holds a single live record per project against exactly those numbers.
The control plane carries a project from a short intake through to SRO sign-off, then keeps the profile live rather than freezing it at the gate. The six phases below show confidence re-scoring as evidence lands, quality states separating a draft from proof, and the governance pack generating itself at the gate.
The control plane is built around the UK Government Secure by Design mandate first, then maps the same evidence across the frameworks that sit beside it. The list below ties the ten principles to NCSC CAF v4.0, ISO 27001:2022 secure-development controls, the NIST SSDF and OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE handling - so one record satisfies them all.
You get the artefacts that let an SRO actually defend a sign-off, not a spreadsheet rebuilt the night before the gate. A portfolio control plane with CISO, SRO and DPO lenses, a one-click governance pack assembled from the live record, and an append-only audit record where every answer, N/A justification, sign-off and export is logged.
Every project, its phase and its confidence on one screen - CISO, SRO and DPO lenses.
The governance pack assembled from the live record, on demand.
Every answer, N/A justification, sign-off and export logged and defensible.
