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

Security testing can detect synchronization flaws before production deployment.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices include concurrency and synchronization requirements that reduce race conditions.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate proper locking and thread-safety controls.

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

Secure architecture principles address concurrent access and resource synchronization.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly require correct synchronization primitives and thread-safety.
