Week -1

The first step will be to select an organization as the target for your software assurance guidelines document. This organization will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:

The selected organization may already have software assurance guidelines in place and still be used as the basis for the projects in this course. The selected organization must produce software applications for the government, and is therefore subject to software assurance requirements. It is understood that such an organization may not be readily accessible. Therefore, you may feel free to identify a hypothetical organization that meets the requirements. Any necessary assumptions may be made to fulfill the requirements of organization selection.

Select an existing organization, or identify a hypothetical organization that fits the requirements listed above. Submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.

Assignment:

For the assignments in this course, you will not be implementing any software assurance policies or procedures. You will be developing a comprehensive software assurance guidelines document. Your first task in this process will be to select an organization (or identify a hypothetical organization) to use as the basis of your projects. You will also create the shell document for the final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit. As you proceed through each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final document to gradually complete the final project deliverable. Appropriate research should be conducted to support the development of your guideline document, and assumptions may be made when necessary.

The project deliverables are the following:

Week-2

For this assignment, you will identify the types of applications that are being produced by the company, and perform an evaluation of security risks applicable to these applications. You will then identify the types of software assurance techniques to be used for security risk mitigation in each of the software applications.

The project deliverables are as follows:

Wwek-3

For this assignment, you will continue development of your software assurance guidelines document to address security in nontraditional development models. This new section of your document will provide guidance to the company when it is using nontraditional development models to ensure that it follows processes and policies that will minimize the threat of security problems. The security development model will be used as the basis for your analysis.

The project deliverables are as follows:

Week-4

for this assignment, you will continue development of your software assurance guidelines document for your selected organization. New content will include a section called Security Static Analysis. In this section, you will focus on an application that your organization might produce. You will first create a design for an application with code samples in C or C++ to illustrate the tenets of the security development model. You will also identify security static analysis tools, and prepare guidelines on how they would be used in the sample code and throughout the software development in the company.

The project deliverables are as follows:

Week-5

The final step in developing the software assurance guidelines document is to develop the overall software assurance policies and processes that include software developer training, software assurance metrics to be collected, and the security team’s role and responsibilities These policies and procedures will be instrumental in the ongoing value of software assurance in your company. You will also further refine the software assurance guidelines document and produce the final draft version. Updates may be based on peer and instructor feedback.  The project deliverables are as follows:
