Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop, implement and evaluate information security in an information and communications technology (ICT) system or application during the system development life cycle (SDLC), prior to the operations and maintenance phase.It applies to individuals with excellent information and communications technology (ICT) expertise who are working as network managers and are required to handle system and application security from the development phase through implementation to evaluation.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop system and application security
  • 1.1 Identify enterprise ICT system or application security policies
  • 1.2 Identify security requirements for the ICT system or application
  • 1.3 Write an ICT system or application security plan according to the enterprise and ICT system or application security policies
  • 1.4 Identify standards against which to engineer the ICT system or application
  • 1.5 Identify criteria for performing risk based audits against the ICT system or application
  • 1.6 Develop processes and procedures to mitigate the introduction of vulnerabilities during the engineering process
  • 1.7 Integrate applicable information security requirements, controls, processes, and procedures into ICT system and application design specifications according to established requirements
2. Implement system and application security
  • 2.1 Execute enterprise and ICT system or application security policies
  • 2.2 Apply and verify compliance with identified standards against which to engineer the ICT system or application
  • 2.3 Perform processes and procedures to mitigate the introduction of vulnerabilities during the engineering process
  • 2.4 Perform secure configuration management practices
  • 2.5 Validate that the engineered ICT system and application security controls meet the specified requirements
  • 2.6 Re-engineer security controls to mitigate vulnerabilities identified during the operations phase
  • 2.7 Ensure integration of information security practices throughout the SDLC process
  • 2.8 Document ICT system or application security controls addressed within the system
  • 2.9 Practise secure coding
3. Evaluate system and application security
  • 3.1 Review new and existing risk management technologies to achieve an optimal enterprise risk posture
  • 3.2 Review new and existing ICT security technologies to support secure engineering across the SDLC phases
  • 3.3 Continually assess effectiveness of the information system controls based on risk management practices and procedures
  • 3.4 Assess and evaluate system compliance with corporate policies and architectures
  • 3.5 Assess system maturation and readiness for promotion to the production stage
  • 3.6 Collect lessons learned from integration of information security into the SDLC and use to identify improvement actions
