Scope:

This standard provides a methodology to determine the maturity of a software development organization. It also provides a broad view to both domains and practice areas that are measurable and a baseline for product/solution cyber risk. This will include both security and privacy elements of the organization that directly impact the product(s)/solution(s) being developed. As a result of the process, an external organization will be able to determine the overall maturity of both the organization and products being developed.

Project need:

To support innovation in the field of verification of software, product and system development with a focus on cybersecurity, providing requirements for the use of cybersecurity verification in the North American context. Supporting organizations consider the maturity of both the organization and the product/system development process as key to providing overall security maturity to all products/systems being developed. This secure-by-design approach allows for the design, development, installation, support and maintenance and upgrade of their products through their lifetime, and that evaluating the developer, their development processes and the product itself is essential to a thorough evaluation of any product/system

Details of Resolution:

Standards Council of Canada is allowing the development and publication of CSA T200 following SCC review through the Duplication Resolution Mechanism.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
