There is a lot to like in this plan from the ONCD official adoption and endorsement of CISA’s Secure by Design and Secure by Default principles and practices – ref initiative A6 in the implementation plan document.
A pilot project proposal has been submitted to EPRI that will demonstrate the very concepts described in this implementation plan pertaining to Secure by Design and Secure by Default requirements. A findings report will be produced identifying any obstacles encountered and solutions to address any identified obstacles. A set of Recommendations to ease “Secure by Design” and “Secure by Default” implementations will also be produced.
