The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Secure by Design specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the Secure by Design Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 998 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Secure by Design improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 998 standard requirements:


1. How can internal office operations or contracted facilities management process daily mail more efficiently and securely by re designing the mailroom to become a best practice digital mailroom?
   
   

2. Has the system been designed with adequate physical and other security safeguards to ensure the records remain inviolate and can only be changed by a person with appropriate authority?
   
   

3. What is the best way to ensure that IoT device manufacturers integrate privacy by design and security by design principles, as well as interoperability standards into the core values?
   
   

4. Have software updates been made available to customers regardless of location, wherever technically feasible and, as a minimum, for the whole expected lifetime of the product?
   
   

5. Is aware that access to information is on a need to know basis as determined by the Manager, Security Services or designate for the performance of the duties?
   
   

6. Have you ensured that there is nothing in your information, or in how the device or service is displayed or advertised that could be misleading to customers?
   
   

7. Have you ensured all sensitive data is encrypted when transferred over networks and at rest, including when hosted by a third party cloud service provider?
   
   

8. Have you provided customers information about your identity, including organization name, geographical address and a telephone number / email address?
   
   

9. Have you considered whether there is anything else your customers may expect to be told when deciding whether to purchase your device or service?
   
   

10. What about digital systems embedding by design security software safeguards, and AI which you know can self learn from unknown situations?

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Secure by Design investments work better.

This Secure by Design All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
