How We Secure AI-Assisted Development
No Classified Data in AI Models
AI tools never have access to classified or sensitive project information. All AI assistance operates within strictly controlled boundaries.
Human Review of All Outputs
Every line of AI-generated code is reviewed by security-cleared engineers before it enters the codebase.
Automated Security Scanning
Static Application Security Testing (SAST), dependency scanning and vulnerability assessment run continuously in our CI/CD pipeline.
Provenance Tracking
Full audit trail of AI-assisted development decisions, enabling accountability and traceability.
Aligned to NCSC AI Guidance
Our approach follows NCSC guidance on the secure use of AI in software development.
Regular Methodology Review
Our AI development practices are reviewed quarterly against emerging threats and updated guidance.
