CCI-003313 Definition

The organization requires the developer of the information system, system component, or information system service to show via informal demonstration, that the formal top-level specification completely covers the interfaces to security-relevant software.

Master Assessment Datasheet

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed documents within the contracts/agreements, the requirement that the developer of the information system, system component, or information system service show via informal demonstration, that the formal top-level specification completely covers the interfaces to security-relevant software.

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 show via informal demonstration, that the formal top-level specification completely covers the interfaces to security-relevant software.

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 show via informal demonstration, that the formal top-level specification completely covers the interfaces to security-relevant software.

Control	Description
SA-17 (3)	The organization requires the developer of the information system, system component, or information system service to: SA-17 (3)(a): Produce, as an integral part of the development process, a formal top-level specification that specifies the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware in terms of exceptions, error messages, and effects; SA-17 (3)(b): Show via proof to the extent feasible with additional informal demonstration as necessary, that the formal top-level specification is consistent with the formal policy model; SA-17 (3)(c): Show via informal demonstration, that the formal top-level specification completely covers the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware; SA-17 (3)(d): Show that the formal top-level specification is an accurate description of the implemented security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware; and SA-17 (3)(e): Describe the security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware mechanisms not addressed in the formal top-level specification but strictly internal to the security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware.
