Secure by Design,by default.

Bring security assurance into the build - control gates, evidence capture and sign-off across the SDLC, with an append-only record that survives audit.

The mandate

Secure by Design is no longer optional.

A Cabinet Office mandate, owned by Government Security Group and rolled out by DSIT - and the deadlines have already passed.

the confidence profile you must prove
Why it's different

Stop bolting security on at the end.

Every control question answered, evidenced and signed off - with a tamper-evident record you can defend months later.

Control gates

Security gates across the delivery lifecycle - nothing ships without the right assurance.

Structured questionnaire

Yes / No / N-A control responses with what / gap / exception capture - no ambiguous maturity scores.

Evidence required

Every ‘Yes’ demands evidence; every ‘No’ starts a remediation chain.

Append-only audit

A tamper-evident, append-only assurance record - defensible long after sign-off.

Signed control corpus

Controls ship as a signed runtime bundle - provenance you can prove.

Framework mapping

Secure by Design principles mapped to NCSC and ISO controls.

The problem

Security bolted on at go-live is security that fails.

Without E2E Risk
Secure by Design assured in the government’s own spreadsheet tracker
Security considered at the end, not designed in from day one
Activities never tied to actual delivery phases
Evidence scrambled together the week before launch
No re-assessment once the service is live
With E2E Risk
Every Secure by Design principle, native to the platform
Security gates enforced at each lifecycle phase
Activities mapped to design, build, test, release and operate
Evidence captured continuously, in place, as work happens
Risk-balanced and continuously re-assessed in operation
How it works

A gate at every stage of delivery.

Framework depth

One principle, mapped across the board.

SbD Principle
Minimise the attack surface - reduce the ways a service can be attacked, by design.

What you get

Evidence that stands up to scrutiny.

Per-phase gate status

A live view of every Secure by Design activity by delivery phase, with sign-off.

Continuous assurance record

Risk-balanced decisions and residual risk, re-assessed as the service changes.

Append-only evidence trail

An immutable record of every decision, ready for audit and accreditation.

Native to your frameworks

Map once. Report against everything.

Build it secure, prove it later.

Make security assurance part of delivery - with an evidence trail you can hand to any auditor.
