What is Secure Software Development?

Secure Software Development can mean many things; from secure-by-design foundations, to apps built with DevSecOps practices, to penetration-tested software, and software that meets strict regional or international compliance standards.

Our developers are experienced with a full range of secure software development practices, including local ANZ and international models and frameworks such as the Information Security Manual, Protective Security Policy Framework, and Essential Eight. Combined with the broader Tesserent offering, we can deliver provable compliance checks by our qualified, in-house assessors, penetration testing, SOC for your organisation, and more.

What is a software review?

Software can be evaluated based on a range of different metrics and quality frameworks. A review will determine where your software meets expectations and where it needs some work. Our reviews include Secure-by-Design reviews, Secure Code reviews, Software Development Lifecycle reviews and UI/UX reviews.

Quality, New Zealand-based, software developers are often tied up on other projects, or can take months to engage in your business, particularly if they require new security clearances. Outsourcing on-demand from Tesserent can help save time and resources.

FAQs

How long does a software review take?

We can customise the scope of our reviews according to your individual requirements. Typical engagements can last from one week to one month, depending on your needs and the details of your technology stack.

Is it possible to get one or two software developers for a short engagement?

No matter your resource needs, we can work out the perfect arrangement to meet your project requirements; from one or two devs for a short engagement through to multiple teams for a large-scale enterprise software build.

Is a software rebuild really necessary?

Other software developers may have told you that your software really needs a rebuild. We can assess the state of the software and determine whether a rebuild is necessary or if your project is salvageable with the right fixes.

Which Software Development Lifecycle model is best?

We follow Agile software development practices that result in high levels of client satisfaction and ensure timelines and budgets do not blow out.
