CCI-003282

Require the developer of the system, system component, or system service to use vulnerability analysis from similar systems, components, or services to inform the current development process.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed requires within contracts/agreements that the developer of the information system, system component, or information system service use vulnerability analysis from similar systems, components, or services to inform the current development process and potential design or implementation issues. Authoritative vulnerability information is available from a variety of public and private sector sources including, for example, the National Vulnerability Database and the Government/Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP).

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 use vulnerability analysis from similar systems, components, or services to inform the current development process.

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 services to use vulnerability analysis from similar systems, components or services to inform the current development process.
