 The best way to ensure appropriate security controls are built into software is to integrate security throughout the development process. This means that security should be considered from the initial stages of planning, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance of the software. Integrating security throughout the development process helps to identify and mitigate security risks early, reduce the cost and complexity of fixing vulnerabilities later, improve the quality and reliability of the software, and enhance the trust and confidence of the users and customers. Integrating security throughout the development process also aligns with the best practices and standards of information security governance, such as the CISM framework123.

The primary responsibility of the information security function when an organization adopts emerging technologies is to assess the potential security risk, which means identifying and evaluating the threats, vulnerabilities, and impacts that the new technologies may pose to the organization’s data, systems, and objectives. Assessing the potential security risk helps the information security function to determine the appropriate security requirements, controls, and measures to mitigate the risk and ensure the safe and secure adoption of the emerging technologies.

A business impact analysis (BIA) is a process that helps identify and evaluate the potential effects of disruptions or incidents on the organization’s mission, objectives, and operations. A BIA should be periodically executed to verify the effectiveness of the controls that are implemented to prevent, mitigate, or recover from such disruptions or incidents12.

According to the CISM Manual, a BIA should be performed at least annually for critical systems and processes, and more frequently for non-critical ones3. A BIA should also be updated whenever there are significant changes in the organization’s environment, such as new regulations, technologies, business models, or stakeholder expectations3. A BIA should not be used to validate vulnerabilities on environmental changes (A), analyze the importance of assets (B), or check compliance with regulations ©, as these are not the primary purposes of a BIA.

 Standards are detailed statements of the minimum requirements for hardware, software, or security configurations. They are used to define the minimum security controls required for user workstations. References = CISM Review Manual, 16th Edition, page 69.
