OpenARIANA has been developed to address the repetitive task of creating policies, particularly Information Security Management System (ISMS) policies. These documents often consist of standardised text that needs to be tailored to individual customer requirements. By tightly integrating with Microsoft Word, OpenARIANA streamlines the process of creating and customising documents in a professional environment. It provides a user-friendly interface that increases productivity and reduces manual effort, making the process of adapting standardised policies to specific customer needs both efficient and reliable. The tool has been released as open source as part of the CyFORT project initiative, making its main features available for use and inviting further contributions.

The ARIANA tool, short for “Assistance for Reporting on Information system Audits with Normative Assessment”, is designed as an add-on to Microsoft Word and Excel applications and provides a simple and reliable process for creating policies, creating or updating audit reports, managing Excel- and Word-based records of processing activities compliant with GDPR, and providing additional Word and Excel utilities useful to consultants in their day-to-day work. The tool was developed by itrust consulting as a VBA application to provide standardised documentation in the ATENA project. The tool has been released as open source as part of the CyFORT project initiative, making its main features available for use and inviting further contributions.

Publication of C5-DEC CAD
C5-DEC, short for “Common Criteria for Cybersecurity, Cryptography, Clouds – Design, Evaluation and Certification”, is a sub-project of the CyFORT project, which in turn stands for “Cloud Cybersecurity Fortress of Open Resources and Tools for Resilience”. C5-DEC CAD, the software component of C5-DEC, is a suite of tools for computer-aided design and development (CAD), mainly dealing with: the creation and evaluation of secure IT systems according to the Common Criteria standards, secure software development life cycle (SSDLC), and what we refer to as cyber-physical system security assessment (CPSSA). This repository contains the source code and full documentation (requirements, technical specifications, user manual, test case specifications and test reports) of C5-DEC CAD, exemplifying the C5-DEC method, which relies on storing, interlinking and processing all software development life cycle (SDLC) artifacts in a unified manner.
