Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover truncation errors through static analysis, dynamic testing, or code review.

SA-15 Development Process, Standards, and Tools partial match

Documented development standards and tools can mandate use of safe arithmetic libraries or explicit checks against truncation.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Engineering principles can require safe type conversions and avoidance of narrowing casts that cause truncation.
