Background
In support of the UK government’s evolving cybersecurity strategy, the Trading Fund Government Department has initiated the implementation of a critical cultural and operational shift: the adoption of the Secure by Design framework. This effort aligns with wider mandates from the Government Digital Service (GDS), requiring all new digital projects to embed security principles at every stage of their lifecycle.
To support the rollout of this mandated transformation, Certes IT Service Solutions deployed their Delivery Manager and Portfolio Management Service, to work alongside the department as part of a dedicated delivery team. With prior experience in structured operational environments, they joined a small embedded team to help guide the organisation through a complex organisational shift.
