 \section*{Abstract}
 
-There are hundreds of cyber security compliance standards, and many businesses require their partner companies and/or members of their supply chain to comply with numerous standards. Keeping track of each company's compliance to a particular standard is a lengthy and potentially expensive task since it can be very difficult to maintain without the use of an external service or consultant. Most SMEs will not be able to afford this - due to the required time and level of experience, it might not be something a system administrator can do on top of their other responsibilities, and a consultant may be too expensive.

Keeping track of each company's compliance to a particular standard is a lengthy and potentially expensive process since it can be very difficult to maintain without the use of an external service or consultant. Most SMEs will be unable to afford this - due to the required time and level of experience, it may not be something a system administrator can do on top of their other responsibilities, and a consultant could be too expensive.
 
 An engine that automatically generates cyber security compliance forms could provide a low cost, time efficient solution for businesses that need a flexible and customisable way of tracing their partner's compliance (or their own compliance) with multiple standards.
 
-The goal of this project is to create a web application system that will generate and store compliance forms for the end user. The forms will be generated by a user, and accessbile by specified partners chosen by the user. This will include the ability to update the forms at a later date. This scope of this project includes cyber security compliance - while this project may be relevant to other forms of compliance, the focus of this project will be on compliance within the cyber security field only.

 \section{Objectives}
     Ultimately, the goal of the project is to enable organisations to maintain and improve their cyber security by adhering to various compliance standards such as the guidelines set out by the UK government's Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme aims to protect organisations from a range of attacks that could be carried out by relatively unskilled individuals - the most common cyber threat to businesses. \cite{CyberEssentials}
 
-    A thorough review of relevant literature will be required to fully understand the problem and the existing solutions, if any exist. If they do, an assessment of possible improvements that could be made to those solutions should also be made. A section detailing the analysis of the requirements for the project will be needed to determine and gauge the feasibility and enable the planning and design of the application itself. Included should be an assessment of likely risks to the project.

-    The implementation of the web application, in a manner which allows for easy maintainence, extensions and other improvements at a later date. To ensure the functionality of all parts of the application, a testing system should also be implemented - set up as continuous integration with regression testing. This software validation should be automated for consistency and to save time.

     An analysis of the implementation should be carried out after it is finalised, to establish adherence to the designs and assure the quality of the code. Furthermore, an evaluation of this project and its management should be performed. Finally, a summary of possible future work that could be carried out should be developed, to improve upon this project and/or extend it.

         Cyber security is the body of technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. \cite{CSCRM} Cyber security standards have existed for a long time, affecting the necessary policies and practices of individuals and organisations over the last several decades. \cite{StanfordConsortium} Various regulations and legislation often struggle to keep up with the latest cyber threats due to the rapid evolution of the field. \cite{GDPR} As a result of the expanding pool of available tools, there is an ever-increasing number of people able to access the world of cyber crime. This makes it all the more crucial that conforming to the latest standards becomes an imperative for every company, regardless of the size of the enterprise. The hope for this project is that it will help to enable organisations to achieve compliance with any given standard in a cost effective manner.
 
     \subsection{Cyber Essentials}
-        The UK Government worked with the a number of other institutions to develop Cyber Essentials, a set of basic standards to help organisations defend themselves from common security threats online. \cite{CyberEssentials} The scheme is designed to prevent unskilled individuals from being able to find basic vulnerabilities in an organisation by providing advice, and two different levels of certification; \textquotedblleft Cyber Essentials\textquotedblright\ and \textquotedblleft Cyber Essentials Plus\textquotedblright. The former is a self-assessment designed to be light-weight and easy to follow, while in the latter, a certification body carries out the verification of the organisation\textquoteright s cyber security, instead of it being done by the company in question.

 \section{Crime}
     There has been a significant increase in cyber criminal activity in recent years. \cite{GDPR} The methods used by criminals are currently changing as businesses begin to be targeted more frequently than individuals. \cite{GDPR} Cyber crime is growing at a rapid rate, making it increasingly troublesome for regulations and legislation to keep pace, resulting in outdated laws that are often unfit for purpose. \cite{GDPR}

         React is a JavaScript library specialising in the development of user interfaces, developed and maintained by Facebook. \cite{React} React was chosen as the medium for the frontend due to it's manipulation of the virtual DOM, which reduces loading times; reuseable components to increase development speed, and built-in defence against Cross Site Scripting attacks. Given that the core of the application involves user inputting data to forms, the latter is especially important.
 
         \subsubsection{Code Structure}
-            The structure of the React frontend is heavily influenced by create-react-app - a tool used in this project to get a head start on the setup and configuration of the frontend application. Since there is no recommended way to structure React projects, my opinion on the best way to do this for the remainder source code was to group by page, thereby simplying the process of finding and editing related components.

         \subsubsection{Single Page Application and Routing}
             Another reason for using the create-react-app tool is that it initialises the application as a single-page application (SPA), which further reduces the loading time for users. As an SPA, the entire frontend is loaded when the user enters the application, and it is not necessary to load anything further, even when navigating the app. From there all the routing between the different pages is done by React Router, a library of React components that are used to navigate between pages in an SPA. However, everything in React is a component, including the \textquoteleft pages\textquoteright, and so the beauty of React Router is that it allows redirection between components, and as such, will only need to re-render the relevant component(s) that are being loaded to the screen, as opposed to the entire page.
