Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Baseline configuration defines the approved production settings and prevents shipment while still in manufacturing or debug mode.
Establishing and enforcing the most restrictive configuration settings ensures the released product uses hardened production values.
Developer configuration management requires tracking and controlling the transition from manufacturing to release configuration.
Developer testing and evaluation can discover that the delivered build remains in a pre-production configuration.

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.
Configuration management with hardened baselines directly prevents shipping pre-production or debug builds.
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.
Configuration management directly prevents release of non-release builds by enforcing approved, documented configurations.
Security testing and acceptance criteria can detect and block deployment of pre-production builds.
Change-management procedures ensure only approved, release-ready configurations are deployed.
Controlling software installation on operational systems reduces the chance that pre-production builds reach production.
Secure development life-cycle practices include release-gate checks that catch non-release configurations.
Separation of development, test and production environments prevents accidental promotion of non-release configurations.
