CCI-003336

The organization requires the developer of the information system, system component, or information system service to design and structure the security-relevant firmware to use a complete, conceptually simple protection mechanism with precisely defined semantics.

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 design and structure the security-relevant firmware to use a complete, conceptually simple protection mechanism with precisely defined semantics.

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 design and structure the security-relevant firmware to use a complete, conceptually simple protection mechanism with precisely defined semantics.

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 design and structure the security-relevant firmware to use a complete, conceptually simple protection mechanism with precisely defined semantics.
