Description

Key security activities for this phase include:

•Conduct the risk assessment and use the results to supplement the base line security controls;

•Analyze security requirements;

•Perform functional and security testing;

•Prepare initial documents for system certification and accreditation; and

•Design security architecture.

Although this section presents the information security components in a sequential top-down manner, the order of completion is not necessarily fixed. Security analysis of complex systems will need to be iterated until consistency and completeness is achieved.

Scope

First, the guideline describes the key security roles and responsibilities that are needed in development of most information systems. Second, sufficient information about the SDLC is provided to allow a person who is unfamiliar with the SDLC process to understand the relationship between information security and the SDLC.
