CCI-003297 Definition

The design specification and security architecture expresses how individual security functions, mechanisms, and services work together to provide required security capabilities and a unified approach to protection.

Status
Type	CheckType.policy

Master Assessment Datasheet

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed documents within contracts/agreements, the requirement that the developer produce a design specification and security architecture that expresses how individual security functions, mechanisms, and services work together to provide required security capabilities and a unified approach to protection.

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 produce a design specification and security architecture that expresses how individual security functions, mechanisms, and services work together to provide required security capabilities and a unified approach to protection.

Compelling Evidence

1.) System security plan (SSP). 2.) System development life cycle (SDLC) documentation. 3.) Continuous monitoring plan that ensures the design specification and security architecture expresses how individual security functions, mechanisms and services work together to provide required security capabilities and a unified approach to protection.
