Secure by Design (SbD) Overview
The Secure by Design strategy aims to strengthen UK Police Force’s and associated organisation’s cyber resilience and improve data sharing among law enforcement organisations.
The Secure by Design methodology has been chosen to establish a repeatable, structured, and consistent approach to delivering secure solutions across policing, while also ensuring that risks are managed within the defined risk appetite.
