The fulfillment of agile models is crucial for ensuring that a software development project's tasks are completed efficiently and collaboratively. The definitions of the project architecture are usually performed in these models. Factors such as delivery time, cost and maintenance are determined. In traditional methods, project stages are carried out sequentially. After one of the stages is completed, another one is performed. When an innovation or change is attempted at any point in the project, some problems occur. These problems can generally be solved with Scrum agile methods, where communication is highlighted and processes are performed more flexibly. It is an undeniable fact that Scrum and security issues can be brought together when incorporating the Scrum strategy into software development models. In such a case, models are used that allow Security and Scrum to work within a framework. In this study, scientific studies based on scientific evidence aimed at eliminating incompatibilities in software development systematics were analyzed. The distribution of the publication years, the relation of scrum and security, the citation topic, the bibliometric maps and co-citation report are used in these analysis. In the result of these analyses, bibliometric and statistical analysis results of studies in the literature on software development that includes security principles with the Scrum model were revealed. When the results obtained in the experiments were examined, it was concluded that it was possible to develop secure software with an architecture in which Scrum and Security models were used together. During the software development phase, it enables proactive risk management by blending scrum and security elements. It also allows teams to detect security vulnerabilities during the software development phase. These facilitate the creation of a more secure and durable software product.

Çevik modellerin yerine getirilmesi, bir yazılım geliştirme projesinin görevlerinin bir arada yürütülmesi açısından önemlidir. Proje mimarisinin tanımları genellikle bu modellerde yapılmaktadır. Teslimat süresi, maliyet, bakım gibi faktörler belirlenir. Geleneksel yöntemlerde proje aşamaları sıralı olarak yürütülür. Aşamalardan biri tamamlandıktan sonra diğerine geçilir. Projenin herhangi bir noktasında bir yenilik veya değişiklik yapılmaya çalışıldığında bazı sorunlar ortaya çıkar. Bu sorunlar genel olarak iletişimin ön plana çıkarıldığı ve süreçlerin daha esnek yürütüldüğü Scrum çevik yöntemleriyle çözülebilmektedir. Scrum stratejisinin yazılım geliştirme modellerine dâhil edilmesinde Scrum ve güvenlik konularının bir araya getirilebileceği yadsınamaz bir gerçektir. Böyle bir durumda Security ve Scrum'ın bir çerçeve içerisinde çalışmasına olanak sağlayan modeller kullanılır. Bu çalışmada yazılım geliştirme sistematiğindeki uyumsuzlukların giderilmesine yönelik bilimsel kanıtlara dayalı bilimsel çalışmalar analiz edilmiştir. Bu analizlerde literatürde Scrum modeli ile güvenlik ilkelerini içeren yazılım geliştirme çalışmalarının bibliyometrik ve istatistiksel analiz sonuçları ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Deneylerde elde edilen sonuçlar incelendiğinde Scrum ve Security modellerinin bir arada kullanıldığı bir mimari ile güvenli yazılım geliştirmenin mümkün olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
