Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

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

Requiring a documented development process and standards can mandate centralized placement of symbolic constant definitions.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Applying security engineering principles during design and development includes modularity and centralized definition of constants to avoid scattering.

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 partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices include code organization standards that reduce scattered constant definitions.

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.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle requires centralized, well-managed definitions that reduce scattered symbolic constants.

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

Secure system architecture and engineering principles promote modular, centralized constant handling to improve maintainability.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly call for centralized constant definitions to avoid duplication and errors.

A.8.32 Change management none match
none

Change management indirectly benefits from centralized constants but does not directly address their placement.
