As software evolves, there is an underlying focus on a goal (or set of goals). From an organizational perspective, software security is an operation that protects critical business practices. Thus, it should become a habitual element of the development process in the same way that quality implications are considered to meet specific goals.

This proactive point of view, examining quality and security from the beginning (or as early in the development process as possible), is known as software integrity.
