What is the Secure code assurance tool (SCAT)

What is the SCAT

  • SCAT is a process integrity tool, implementing a consistent, authorized and auditable software development process
  • SCAT is used by development teams to build, verify and assure secure software
    • Build: uses a combination of code level guidance, on demand training and DAST tools to train, guide and verify correct implementation
    • Verify: uses a combination of manual test plans and SATS tools to guide and verify correct implementation
    • Assure: centrally stores and publishes evidence of secure development and testing as an audit trail. Providing traceability through requirements and proving that security controls operate efficiently over a period of time
  • SCAT is not a point in time security verification tool for detecting vulnerabilities after development

Process integrity and point in time tools: How they work in the SDLC

Process integrity VS point in time without check



Organisations loose security knowledge

  • Developers come and go, experience developers leave with their security knowledge and experience leaving new developers to learn and make the same mistakes

Developers don’t understand security

  • Development teams don’t have the time to study and understand the complex security requirements and don’t know how to write code or test code that implements it

Compliance and assurance blocks release

  • Approvers and assurance teams delay release while development teams do a post development, blind scramble for evidence to prove they have met security requirements

Inconsistent implementation

  • Complex application landscapes with multiple dev teams, application and technologies make it difficult to ensure all dev teams are using the correct and best fix.


Without further complicating development environment

  • SCAT is a simple 5 screen MVC, C# web application with a small footprint that can be deployed without further complicating development environment
  • Integrates with Jira and runs ZAP and SonarQube in docker containers
  • SCAT is part of three domains to consider when securing software development. I've detailed the other domains in an article that will be published in the Nov/Dec issue of the ISC2 magazine, I will add a link here after publication.

See below how the Secure code assurance tool integrates security into software development phases

Sprint planning phase

Objective: Ensures security requirements are understood

  • Developers use the Identify risks screen to
    1. Select the critical function to developing/changing
    2. Identify the technologies used
    3. Automatically generate the security requirements and tests
    4.                See how to use the tools and its internal mapping to generate security requirements
      
  • Product owners use the Secure code requirements screen to
    1. Create an audit trail to store evidence of secure development
    2. Create Jira tickets for requirements and tests to manage work

Development phase

Objective: Ensure correct implementation of security requirements

Secure code review phase

Objective: Ensure correct implementation of security requirements

Testing phase

Objective: Ensure valid security testing

Approval phase

Objective: Streamline the approval and audit process

Risk management

Objective: Enable risk managers to prioritise, plan and monitor mitigation efforts

  • Risk managers use the Application risk exposure screen to
    1. View each application critical function and the associated risks
    2. Identify where mitigation effort is required by viewing which risks require security requirements
    3. Identify where development effort is required by viewing which security requirements need secure code blocks
    4. Identify where extra testing effort is required by viewing which risks require security test plans
    5.                See how the Application landscape overview screen informs risk based decision making
      



When developing secure software we need to consider both standard secure code and client specific architectural requirements

Standard secure code requirements

  • SCAT comes out the box with a standard OWASP secure code requirements map. This mapping need to be modified to the specific organisation requirements

  • Information security and development team use the Internal mapping screen to
    1. Map the security requirements to OWASP risks
    2. Map organisation approved secure code blocks to security requirements
    3. Map security test plans to OWASP risks
    4.                See how to setup the SCAT's internal mapping
      

Client specific architectural requirements

  • To generate these requirements we perform a risk assessment on client application landscape and identify
    1. Critical applications and functions
    2. Risk associated with each critical application function
    3. Architectural security requirements to secure each critical application functions
    4. Client specific secure code blocks to implement security requirements
    5. Secure test plans to verify risk has been mitigated


  • Tool administrators use the Internal mapping screen to
    1. Create json files of the organisation specific risks, security requirements, secure code blocks and tests
    2. Import these into the SCAT
    3.     See how to import organisations specific risks, security requirements, secure code blocks and tests
