Abstract

Our new Software Assurance Framework Assessment helps you improve how you manage cybersecurity risk across the lifecycle. We comprehensively examine your lifecycle acquisition and engineering practices to show you where and how to integrate cybersecurity into those practices from the early planning stages through deployment.

The SAF Assessment puts our experts in your organization to work with you to understand your needs and provide individualized attention. We learn your development and acquisition processes, interview those involved in the processes, and search for evidence to corroborate the facts.

From that information, we analyze how well you’re addressing cybersecurity risk in your software products and systems. Finally, we recommend what you can do to improve how you build security into your software products and systems.
