V7.1.1
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Requires developer configuration management that tracks and controls changes to both design and code, reducing divergence between them.
Developer testing and evaluation activities directly examine whether the delivered implementation satisfies documented design and requirements.
Requires the developer to follow a documented development process that explicitly includes maintaining consistency between design artifacts and implementation.
Mandates use of an SDLC that incorporates security and privacy activities, thereby structuring development to keep implementation aligned with documented design.
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 include design-to-code verification activities that directly address implementation versus documented design mismatches.
Formal change and exception tracking reduces uncontrolled drift from documented designs but does not verify consistency.
Configuration management verifies deployed state against documented baselines, catching some but not all design-implementation drift.
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.
Security testing can detect deviations, yet does not prevent the inconsistency from occurring.
Change management can catch drift after the fact, but does not guarantee initial implementation matches design.
Documented operating procedures help keep implementation aligned with stated design, but do not enforce design-level consistency.
Project-level design-to-implementation traceability directly reduces divergence between documented design and delivered code.
Secure SDLC mandates that implementation matches documented design artifacts, catching the inconsistency early.
Application security requirements can reference design, but do not themselves ensure implementation matches that design.
