Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Establishing and updating awareness policy promotes adherence to secure design principles through ongoing training, preventing related violations.
Mandating the policy be consistent with laws, standards, and guidelines enforces secure design principles in security governance and oversight.
Deficiencies violating secure design principles are tracked and corrected through planned actions, limiting attacker opportunities from design flaws.
Documenting, disseminating, and periodically reviewing maintenance policies and procedures enforces core secure design principles for system maintenance activities.
Documented policy with defined scope, roles, responsibilities, and periodic review directly enforces secure design principles and management commitment.
Baseline selection enforces adherence to established secure-design principles rather than ad-hoc or insufficient control choices.
Requires risk determinations for architecture/design decisions, tailoring rationale, and alignment with enterprise architecture to avoid violations of secure design principles.
Regular SSP updates force review of whether the system's evolving design continues to follow documented secure design principles after changes.
