Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-24 Fail in Known State good match

Enforces failure to a known state while preserving required properties, limiting impact of unhandled exceptions.

SI-17 Fail-safe Procedures good match

Mandates explicit fail-safe procedures triggered by indicated failures, structurally preventing unhandled exceptional conditions.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Security engineering principles include robust exception management to keep the system in a defined state.

SI-11 Error Handling partial match

Error handling requirements force structured catching and response to exceptions instead of allowing them to propagate uncaught.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices explicitly require structured exception handling to prevent uncaught exceptions from reaching production.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect uncaught exceptions before production deployment.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes exception-handling standards that reduce uncaught exceptions.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements typically mandate robust error and exception handling.

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

Secure architecture principles call for centralized, comprehensive exception management.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly require catching and handling exceptions to prevent crashes or leaks.

A.6.8 Information security event reporting none match
none

Reporting of unhandled errors or exceptional conditions surfaces latent failure paths so they can be corrected before exploitation.
