description: Attaining high quality in security requirements specification requires first-rate  professional expertise, which is scarce. In fact, most organisations do not include core security  experts in their software team. This scenario motivates the need for adequate tool support for  security requirements specification so that the human requirements analyst can be assisted to  specify security requirements of acceptable quality with minimum effort. This paper presents a  tool-based semantic framework that uses ontology and requirements boilerplates to facilitate  the formulation and specification of security requirements. A two-phased evaluation of the  semantic framework suggests that it is usable, leads to reduction of effort, aids the quick  discovery of hidden security threats, and improves the quality of security requirements.
