SQUARE Tool

A robust tool to support SQUARE has been developed by a team of Carnegie Mellon Master of Software Engineering students with oversight by staff within CERT. The P-SQUARE tool, designed for use by stakeholders, requirements engineers, and administrators, supports both the security and privacy aspects of SQUARE by

  • recording definitions and searching and adding new terms
  • identifying the project business goals, assets, and security and/or privacy goals
  • adding or editing links to project artifacts
  • performing risk assessment and identify threats
  • comparing and selecting security and/or privacy elicitation techniques
  • linking the elicited requirements to goals, risks, and artifacts
  • classifying requirements based on predefined categories
  • prioritizing security and/or privacy requirements
  • inspecting requirements, viewing traceability to risks and artifacts, and exporting requirements to tools such as Requisite Pro

See a series of short video demonstrations of the P-SQUARE tool by downloading this .zip file. The tool is available for free, though registration is required to download it. Download the P-SQUARE Tool .zip file. Consult the developer or user installation folders for installation instructions.
