SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

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

SC-24 Fail in Known State partial match

Fail-in-known-state reduces the impact when an uncaught exception occurs by preserving a safe condition.

SI-11 Error Handling partial match

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