FAQ
Security by Design builds security requirements into the architecture, development and operation of digital products from the outset. These FAQs explain how addressing security early can reduce risks, lower development costs and strengthen application resilience over time.
What is Security by Design?
Security by Design is an approach that integrates security requirements early into the development of digital products and systems. The aim is to reduce risks during the design and implementation stages.
Why should Security by Design be integrated early into software development?
When security requirements are considered early, threats and vulnerabilities can be identified during architecture and design. This makes it easier to plan appropriate measures before the software is implemented.
What are the benefits of Security by Design for digital products?
Security by Design builds safeguards into architecture and development from the outset. Risks can be considered earlier, and security requirements can be implemented in a traceable way.
Which security risks can Security by Design help reduce?
Security by Design can help reduce common risks early on, such as insecure interfaces, misconfigurations, application vulnerabilities and insufficiently protected data. Ideally, security gaps are addressed during development and architecture rather than only once the application is in operation.

Glossary
Secure software takes security measures into account from the outset by integrating them consistently into development processes and architecture. This glossary explains key terms relating to roles, methods and security principles.
Security architectures
Security architectures describe the structural design of safeguards, responsibilities and control points within a software or system landscape. They define how risks are reduced and security requirements are implemented technically.
Security Engineers
Security engineers are specialists who analyse security requirements, design technical safeguards and support their implementation.
SecOps
SecOps stands for Security Operations and connects security tasks with day-to-day IT operations. These include security controls, monitoring and incident response.
DevSecOps
DevSecOps connects Development, Security and Operations. Automated processes and shared security rules help the teams work together more effectively and address security continuously, from planning through to operations.
Zero Trust philosophy
The Zero Trust philosophy is based on the principle that access should not be trusted by default, but checked continuously. It applies to users, devices, applications and individual components of a digital ecosystem.
