CCI-003330 Definition

Require the developer of the system, system component, or system service to show that the descriptive top-level specification is an accurate description of the interfaces to security-relevant firmware.

Status

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 that the descriptive top-level specification is an accurate description of the interfaces to security-relevant firmware.

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 that the descriptive top-level specification is an accurate description of the interfaces to security-relevant firmware.

Compelling Evidence

1.) System security plan (SSP). 2.) System development life cycle (SDLC) documentation. 3.) Continuous monitoring plan requiring the developers of the information system, system component, or information system service to show that the descriptive top-level specification is an accurate description of the interfaces to security-relevant firmware.

Control	Description
SA-17(4)	The organization requires the developer of the information system, system component, or information system service to: (a): Produce, as an integral part of the development process, an informal descriptive top-level specification that specifies the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware in terms of exceptions, error messages, and effects; (b): Show via [] that the descriptive top-level specification is consistent with the formal policy model; (c): Show via informal demonstration, that the descriptive top-level specification completely covers the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware; (d): Show that the descriptive top-level specification is an accurate description of the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware; and (e): Describe the security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware mechanisms not addressed in the descriptive top-level specification but strictly internal to the security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware.
