The SSE-CMM describes the essential characteristics of an organisation's security engineering process that must exist to ensure good security engineering.

ISO/IEC 21827:2008 does not prescribe a particular process or sequence, but captures practices generally observed in industry. The model is a standard metric for security engineering practices covering the following:

• The entire lifecycle, including development, operation, maintenance and decommissioning activities.
• The whole organisation, including management, organisational and engineering activities.
• Concurrent interactions with other disciplines, such as system, software, hardware, human factors and test engineering; system management, operation and maintenance.
• Interactions with other organisations, including acquisition, system management, certification, accreditation and evaluation.

The objective is to facilitate an increase of maturity of the security engineering processes within the organisation. The SSE-CMM is related to other capability maturity models which focus on different engineering disciplines and topic areas. It can be used in combination or conjunction with them.
Key Features and Benefits:

• Lays out a framework for increasing the maturity of the security engineering processes within an organisation. Leading to more secure IT systems.
• Written in a generic manner, making the advice and guidance suitable for all sizes and types of organisation, be they large or small, not matter the country they are in.
