Keeping Standards up-to-date

Standards are living documents which reflect progress in science, technology andsystems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, andnew editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselvesthey are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments whichmay have been published since the Standard was purchased.

Detailed information about joint Australian/New Zealand Standards can be found byvisiting the Standards Web Shop at www.standards.com.au or Standards NewZealand web site at www.standards.co.nz and looking up the relevant Standard inthe on-line catalogue.

Alternatively, both organizations publish an annual printed Catalogue with fulldetails of all current Standards. For more frequent listings or notification ofrevisions, amendments and withdrawals, Standards Australia and Standards NewZealand offer a number of update options. For information about these services,users should contact their respective national Standards organization.

We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especiallyencourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies orambiguities.

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee

IT-012, Information Systems, Security and Identification.

The objective of this Standard is to present a variety of assurance methods, and to guide the IT

Security Professional in the selection of an appropriate assurance method (or combination of

methods) to achieve confidence that a given deliverable satisfies its stated IT security assurance

requirements. This report examines assurance methods and approaches proposed by various

types of organisms whether they are approved or de-facto standards.

This Standardprovides an overview of the fundamental concepts and a general description of

assurance methods. It targets IT security manages and others responsible for developing a

security assurance program, determining the security assurance of their deliverable, entering an

assurance assessment audit or other assurance.

This Standard is identical with, and has been reproduced from ISO/IEC TR 15443-1:2005,

Part 1:Overview and framework

1 Scope

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this part of ISO/IEC TR 15443 is to introduce, relate and categorise security assurancemethods to a generic life cycle model in a manner enabling an increased level of confidence to be obtained inthe security functionality of a deliverable.

1.2 Approach

The approach adopted throughout this part of ISO/IEC TR 15443 presents an overview of the basic assuranceconcepts and terms required for understanding and applying assurance methods through a framework ofidentifying various assurance approaches and assurance stages.

1.3 Application

Using the categorisation obtained through this part of ISO/IEC TR 15443, Part 2 and the future Part 3 willguide the reader in the selection, and possible combination, of the assurance method(s) suitable forapplication to a given deliverable.

1.4 Field of Application

This part of ISO/IEC TR 15443 provides guidance for the categorisation of assurance methods including thosenot unique to IT security. It may be used in areas outside of IT security where criticality warrants assurance.

1.5 Limitations

This part of ISO/IEC TR 15443 applies to deliverables (refer to Clause 4.3) and their related organisationalsecurity issues only.

2 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

NOTE The terms and definitions have been developed to be as generic as possible to support the assurance modeldeveloped in this part of ISO/IEC TR 15443. The assurance model, being applicable to a broad spectrum of assuranceapproaches, requires non-specific terminology to be applicable to a broad spectrum of assurance approaches.

Defining terms for a generic assurance model is a difficult task owing to the myriad of assurance terms that exist to satisfythe available assurance approaches. Furthermore, similar terms have different definitions and many are unique to aparticular assurance approach making it difficult to construct a generic language for the assurance model. Owing to these
