Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
SC-13 requires selection and implementation of specific cryptography types, directly stopping use of broken algorithms.
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.
Secure SDLC practices directly require use of approved, proven cryptographic implementations and forbid risky custom ones.
PR.DS-01 promotes encryption for data-at-rest but never requires strong algorithms, leaving CWE-327 fully possible; the weakness is also far broader than data-at-rest so one narrow control removes none of its total risk.
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.
Mandates approved cryptographic controls, directly preventing use of risky or non-compliant implementations.
Security testing can detect use of weak or non-compliant cryptographic primitives before deployment.
The explicit call-out of cryptography-related legal constraints (import/export, key escrow, digital-signature validity) reduces the likelihood that an organization will adopt broken or non-compliant cryptographic algorithms that violate those rules.
Access to current specialist guidance and early vulnerability alerts enables timely replacement of broken or risky cryptographic algorithms with stronger alternatives.
Secure SDLC requires vetted crypto libraries and standards, reducing risky custom implementations.
Application security requirements can specify approved cryptographic standards and disallow risky primitives.
