Engineering Assurance

Trust is designed into the system.

Enterprise systems require disciplined engineering, traceability and proportional controls from design through operation.

Engineering Practices

Verifiable discipline. Proportional controls.

01

Secure Development

Disciplined controls across the build lifecycle.

  • Version control
  • Code review
  • Automated testing
  • CI/CD
  • Dependency control
02

Access & Secrets

Access and configuration appropriate to the system context.

  • Role-based access where appropriate
  • Environment separation
  • Secrets outside version control
  • Least-privilege design where appropriate
03

Traceability

Observable change and operating behavior.

  • Versioned changes
  • Deployment history
  • Auditability
  • Operational logging
04

Reliability

Preparation to operate and recover with control.

  • Backup strategies
  • Monitoring
  • Controlled deployments
  • Rollback planning
05

Delivery Controls

Validation and separation appropriate to each project.

  • Development, staging and production separation where appropriate
  • QA controls
  • Release validation
  • Documented architecture

Specific controls are defined around each project's requirements.
