Abstract: This paper presents a concept on how the software requirements specifications template provided by IEEE Standard 830 could be updated to ensure that security is analyzed during the early stages of the software development lifecycle. This improved security requirement in the software requirements specifications will ensure that software developers will have a more clear understanding of how to protect digital information.
