CCI-003196

Require the developer of the system, system component, or system service to employ dynamic code analysis tools to identify common flaws.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed requires within contracts/agreements that the developer of the information system, system component, or information system service employ dynamic code analysis tools to identify common flaws. Dynamic code analysis tools include fuzz testing, using simulation, and white and black box testing. Dynamic code analysis should be performed in conjunction with static code analysis to provide greater levels of analysis.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment obtains and examines the contracts/agreements to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed requires that the developer of the information system, system component, or information system service employ dynamic code analysis tools to identify common flaws.

Compelling Evidence

1.) System security plan (SSP). 2.) System development life cycle (SDLC) documentation. 3.) Continuous monitoring plan must document developer flaw tracking, and resolution using dynamic code analysis tools.
