In times of the Internet, secure software engineering has become an increasingly important part of overall software quality. While IT security measures can offer basic protection for the main areas of your IT system, secure software is crucial for establishing a thoroughly secure business environment. Every one of your software designers should care about security, because your customers have to be able to trust in your software.

ISSECO, the International Secure Software Engineering Council, was established to standardize the education and certification of skills in secure software development. These skills cover everything that is needed to produce secure software throughout the development cycle, spanning from requirements engineering, trust & threat modeling, secure coding, security testing, and security response to code protection.

ISSECO guarantees an up-to-date syllabus and exam questionnaires; we also offer accreditation for qualified education partners. The examination and certification process is performed by iSQI on behalf of ISSECO.

ISSECO is a German "Verein", a not-for-profit organization. Our members are renowned software security experts.

ISSECO is supported by a number of organizations that share the common interest of enhancing the level of security qualification in the software industry.
