Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and static analysis locate hard-coded sensitive values before code is deployed.
Enforces access so that source containing embedded secrets cannot be reached by unauthorized parties.
Engineering principles require secrets to be externalized rather than embedded in source.
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.
Secure SDLC practices directly prohibit embedding secrets or sensitive data in source code.

A.5.12 only defines and communicates a classification scheme so that protection needs can be understood; it does not itself stop source code from containing or exposing sensitive information, per the owner's rule that labeling/classification is a dependency rather than a preventer unless other controls act on it.
A.5.15 only requires defining and communicating an access control policy plus rules that reference other controls; it performs no enforcement that would stop exploitation of sensitive information left in accessible source code.
Secure SDLC practices include removing secrets from code before commit or deployment.
