Welcome
Welcome to the i-Secure-By-Design help system. i-Secure-By-Design is a tool to help you create structured system models and gain confidence in implementations generated from policy-derived constraints, contracts, and specifications associated with those models.
The tool has been created by ADBC Innovation Pty Ltd and is scheduled for release in mid 2026 in Australia & EU with a worldwide release TBD.
The tool is highly compatible with specification-driven development workflows and provides a workflow pipeline that transforms structured models into policy-derived constraints, contracts, and specifications that can be used to produce implementation plans, scaffolds, and code.
Goal
The goal of i-Secure-By-Design is to get you:
1. Creating system diagrams and specifying controls as design
2. Converting those models through policies into constraints, contracts, and specifications used to generate requirement specifcations, scaffolding code and other related outputs
3. Evaluating how well generated or supplied outputs meet the design, using deterministic and/or AI-assisted evaluation.
How to use this help
This guide is for users of the app. It explains where to start, what each help section is for, and how to move through the product workflow.
1. Start with Getting started if you are new.
2. Use Topics for workflow-based guidance.
3. Use Diagram environments expand or update your library of diagram environments
4. Use Troubleshooting when outcomes do not match expectations.
Recommended learning path
If you are trying to do a specific task
- Create your first project: quick-start.md
- Verify project badges and metadata: project-metadata-badges.md
