Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-11 Error Handling good match

si-11 directly requires error messages to avoid revealing exploitable information about the system or its data.

A.8.28 Secure coding mostly match

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid exposing sensitive data in errors.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match

finds

Security testing can detect error messages that leak sensitive information.

A.8.15 Logging partial match

degrades

Logging policy can require suppression of sensitive data in error messages.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates error-handling rules that avoid leaking sensitive information.
