A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
blocks

A.8.25 mandates security requirements, checkpoints, secure coding, testing (incl. code scans) and developer training in the SDLC, which reaches a minority slice of consistency-validation defects when those practices are applied to input handling but leaves most instances (e.g. ad-hoc parsing, non-security requirements, post-SDLC changes) unaddressed.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
blocks

A.8.26 explicitly requires identifying and addressing input validation and consistency-related requirements (items j, m, n, and resilience against injections/disruptions in d), which when implemented stops exploitation of consistency-validation flaws even if the code defect remains.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
blocks

A.8.27 mandates security-by-design principles including data validation/sanitization, distrust-external-input, secure design reviews against attack patterns, and zero-trust verification of requests; this directly stops most consistency-validation flaws from being introduced or exploitable, with a bounded remainder in implementation gaps or non-applicable outsourced components.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require validation of interrelated input fields to prevent CWE-1288.

Security testing can detect consistency flaws but does not prevent them at design time.
