摘要:This study examines the traditional approach to software development within the United KingdomGovernment and the accreditation process. Initially we look at the Waterfall methodology that has beenused for several years. We discuss the pros and cons of Waterfall before moving onto the Agile Scrummethodology. Agile has been adopted by the majority of Government digital departments including theGovernment Digital Services. Agile, despite its ability to achieve high rates of productivity organized inshort, flexible, iterations, has faced security professionals’ disbelief when working within the U.K.Government. One of the major issues is that we develop in Agile but the accreditation process is conductedusing Waterfall resulting in delays to go live dates. Taking a brief look into the accreditation process that isused within Government for I.T. systems and applications, we focus on giving the accreditor the assurancethey need when developing new applications and systems. A framework has been produced by utilising theOpen Web Application Security Project’s (OWASP) Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS).This framework will allow security and Agile to work side by side and produce secure code.
