Abstract: Security and privacy issues are often an afterthought when it comes to systems design. However, failure to address these issues during analysis and design could result in catastrophic effects such as an erosion of trust among those in the stakeholder community once a loss of privacy is experienced, along with the additional expenditures that are necessary to secure a system that has been compromised. We present a conceptual model for creating subsystems of security and privacy governance that are integral parts of the system architecture. Additionally, we propose that knowledge created or acquired during the development and use of the system, especially knowledge about security and privacy, be well documented and stored within a Knowledge Management System (KMS). Viewing, updating, and manipulating the knowledge database throughout the life of the system can enhance its success. In addition, as a knowledge repository, a KMS can contribute to best practices in the development of future systems.
