Dear all,
We submitted the paper "Incremental Common Criteria Certification
Processes using DevSecOps Practices" to EuroSPW 2021. We request to
acknowledge SPARTA if the paper is accepted.
Abstract:
The growing digitalisation of our economies and societies is driving the
need for increased connectivity of critical applications and
infrastructures to the point where failures can lead to important
disruptions and consequences to our lives. One growing source of
failures for critical applications and infrastructures originates from
cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities that can be exploited in
attacks. One approach to mitigating these risks is verifying that
critical applications and infrastructures are sufficiently protected by
certification of products and services. However, reaching sufficient
assurance levels for product certification may require detailed
evaluation of product properties. An important challenge for product
certification is dealing with product evolution: now that critical
applications and infrastructures are connected they are being updated on
a more frequent basis. To ensure continuity of certification, updates
must be analysed to verify the impact on certified cybersecurity
properties. Impacted properties need to be re-certified. This paper
proposes a lightweight and flexible incremental certification process
that can be integrated with DevSecOps practices to automate as much as
possible evidence gathering and certification activities. The approach
is illustrated on the Common Criteria product certification scheme and a
firewall update on an automotive case study. Only the impact analysis
phase of the incremental certification process is illustrated.

Dear all,
We have submitted a paper on “Method for Evaluating Organisations’ Information Security
Level” to the 16th International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science
(RCIS 2022). If accepted, we will acknowledge SPARTA.
Authors: Mari Seeba, Sten Mases and Raimundas Matulevicius
Abstract:
This paper introduces a method for evaluating information security levels of organisations
using a benchmarking tool. The framework supporting the tool is based on Estonian
Information Security Standard (which in turn is adapted from German Federal Office of
Information Security BSI IT-Grundschutz) categories and compatible with ISO 27001
Information Security Management System standard. The tool covers both technical and
organisational aspects of information security. Using the publicly available tool takes
around 60 minutes and gives quick feedback about the information security level of the
organisation. The results can be used to give an overview of security to the
organisation’s management, compare different organisations across the region, and support
strategic decision-making on a national level.
Best greetings,
Mari and Raimundas
