NEW Advent IM Client Case Study on MOD Secure by Design (SbD).
In this case study, Mike Gillespie, Advent IM CEO, explores the SbD methodology for risk assurance and highlights its successful adoption by a Defence client in 2024.
For many years the methodology used by the MOD to manage the risk to systems, applications and information was the accreditation process. This was often an annual process and included the production of an RMADS for meeting established standards for security and risk management.
This has now been replaced with a continual assessment process to support systems and applications through life. The change has been necessary to significantly improve the overall level of assurance and risk management applied to MOD systems and is crucial for achieving secure and resilient Defence Outcomes. The new process is called Secure by Design (SbD) and the 7 principles it advocates are mandatory for new MOD systems and those coming up for renewal under the old system.
