Title
At least one tester must be designated to test for security flaws in addition to functional testing. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
If there is no person designated to test for security flaws, vulnerabilities can potentially be missed during testing. This requirement is meant to apply to developers or organizations that are doing development work.
Check Content
Review the organization chart and interview the admin staff. Identify personnel designated as application security testers. If the organization operating the application is not doing development work, this requirement is not applicable. If the organization has not designated personnel to conduct security testing, this is a finding.
Fix Text
