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 - originally as the Software Security, Dependability and Resilience Initiative (SSDRI) - in July 2011 to draw together the activity and provide a one-stop shop for guidance and information about trustworthy software development. It was renamed from SSDRI to TSI in September 2012.
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, 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)
