What is BS 10754-1 about?
BS 10754-1 discusses information technology. BS 10754-1 provides a specification for systems, software, and services trustworthiness that is intended to be a widely applicable approach that can be customized for any organization and software. BS 10754-1 details system trustworthiness which improves organizations’ operational effectiveness and efficiency.
Who is BS 10754-1 for?
BS 10754-1 on systems trustworthiness is useful for:
- Specifiers (procurement/acquisition)
- Realizers (developers and system integrators)
Why should you use BS 10754-1?
BS 10754-1 defines overall principles for effective trustworthiness and includes technical, physical, cultural, and behavioural measures alongside effective leadership and governance.
BS 10754-1 identifies the necessary tools, techniques, and processes, and covers the five facets of trustworthiness: safety, reliability, availability, resilience, and security.
BS 10754-1 includes a comprehensive Trustworthiness System Framework (TSFr), which provides a domain- and an implementation-agnostic way to reference the large existing body of knowledge, including functional safety, information security, and systems and software engineering and collate good practice for software trustworthiness.
It can be deployed as a stand-alone document for organizations with no current approach to software trustworthiness. Conversely, where organizations already address system trustworthiness through one or more of the five facets, this specification provides a companion and complement to other relevant standards.
Use BS 10754-1 will help an organization improve its:
- Controls
- Operational effectiveness and efficiency
- Organizational learning
- Stakeholder confidence and trust
- Risk management
- Business reputation
- Likelihood of achieving objectives
By helping improve software trustworthiness, this specification could result in significant savings for the economy and reduce the risk of major disruptions to a range of sectors.
