The 'Trustworthy Software Initiative' (TSI)[1] is a UK Public Good activity, sponsored[2] by the UK governnment's Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure, aimed at Making Software Better.
History
TSI evolved from a number of previous activities:
- A study by the Cabinet Office, Central Sponsor for Information Assurance (CSIA) in 2004-5 which identified a pervasive lack of secure software development practices as a matter for concern
- A Department of Trade and Industry (DTI – predecessor of BIS) Global Watch Report in 2006 which noted a relative lack of secure software development practices in the UK
- The Technology Strategy Board (TSB) Cyber Security Knowledge Transfer Network (CSKTN) Special Interest Group (SIG) on Secure Software Development (SSD, 2007-8)
- The TSB / Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Science and Innovation Network (SIN) Multinational Workshop “Challenges to building in … information security, privacy and assurance”, held in Paris in March 2009
- The Secure Software Development Partnership (SSDP) Study Period, funded jointly by TSB and the Centre for Protection of National Infrastructure, which ran in 2009-2010
The Trustworthy Software Initiative (TSI) was established in 2011 to draw together the activity and provide a one-stop shop for guidance and information about trustworthy software development.
Operation
TSI is operated on behalf of UK government by the Cyber Security Centre,[3] De Montfort University.
It is managed by a Technical Director, Ian Bryant,[4] with Stakeholder interests being represented by a President, Sir Edmund Burton, and a team of Vice Presidents responsible for particular communities of interest.
Current Activity
- Enshrining its Trustworthy Software Framework (TSF) as British Standards (BS) Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 754
- Starting promulgation of Software Trustworthiness across Education, initially targeting the“technical” undergraduate community, with the assistance of Professions (BCS / IET)
- Working with Partners on means of Verification of Organisational Competence in Software Trustworthiness (TickITPlus)
