CCI-003275

The organization requires the developer of the information system, system component, or information system services to perform an automated vulnerability analysis using organization-defined tools.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed requires within contracts/agreements that the developer of the information system, system component, or information system service perform an automated vulnerability analysis using the tools defined in SA-15 (7), CCI 3276. The organization should require the developer to perform automated vulnerability analysis which may include dynamic analyses, static analyses, and regression testing tools. Automated testing should be performed in conjunction with manual testing 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 perform an automated vulnerability analysis using the tools defined in SA-15 (7), CCI 3276.

Compelling Evidence

1.) System security plan (SSP). 2.) System development life cycle (SDLC) documentation. 3.) Continuous monitoring plan requiring developers of the information system, system component or information system service to perform an automated vulnerability analysis using organization-defined tools.
