MITRE & GSA presents

ISO 5055 explained. Is your software rock solid, efficient, and safe?

Extensive research shows that 90% of software production issues are caused by just 8% of the software flaws – flaws in the architecture*. Not surprisingly, they also are the hardest to find.

The new ISO 5055 standard (ISO/IEC 5055) addresses this challenge by providing engineering rules for finding and preventing those critical flaws. The set of rules is used to assess the internals of software systems on four business-critical factors – Security, Reliability, Maintainability, Performance Efficiency.

These factors determine how trustworthy, dependable, and resilient a software system will be.

Financial institutions, governments, telecoms, manufacturers, system integrators, software providers and others can leverage ISO 5055 to avoid disruptions, reputational damage, or excessive IT costs. They can also use the widely accepted standard to show objectively the structural condition of critical systems to regulators, boards, or stakeholders.

  • What is included in ISO 5055
  • The implications and opportunities for regulators, IT organizations, software suppliers
  • How applying the ISO 5055 rules can be automated
