Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-11 Error Handling partial match

SI-11 requires a consistent, non-revealing approach to generating error messages across the system.

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 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices explicitly include defining and enforcing standardized error-handling patterns across code.

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.8.28 Secure coding mostly match
prevents

Secure coding explicitly calls for uniform, standardized error handling to avoid introducing weaknesses.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect inconsistent error handling but does not itself define the standardized mechanism.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle requires consistent, standardized error-handling practices across the codebase.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate standardized error handling as a non-functional requirement.

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

Secure system architecture and engineering principles include consistent exception and error-handling mechanisms.
