Security, Risk & Compliance

Security, risk management, and compliance are vital to protecting customer trust, corporate IP, and product integrity. A Chief Technology Officer ensures that security is integrated into every phase of the development lifecycle rather than treated as an afterthought.

Here are the key security and risk areas:

• Shift-Left Security: Integrating security early in the software development lifecycle.
• Threat Modelling: Structured approach to identifying system vulnerabilities.
• Least Privilege: Minimising access permissions to mitigate breach impact.
• Access Control Models: RBAC, ABAC, MAC, and DAC comparison.
• Penetration Testing: Validating defences through active offensive testing.
• Software Bill of Materials (SBOM): Ensuring transparency and security in the software supply chain.
