Control response
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly filters sensitive information from being inserted into outbound responses or data streams, preventing the exact exposure described by CWE-201.
Enforces information flow policies so that sensitive data is never placed into messages or responses sent to unauthorized recipients.
Ensures confidentiality protection for any data that must be transmitted, mitigating exposure when sensitive values are inadvertently embedded in sent payloads.
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 prevent insertion of sensitive data into application outputs and messages.
Monitoring runtime data flows and outputs can detect sensitive data being transmitted.
Protecting data-in-transit can include filtering or encrypting to avoid exposing sensitive content.
Protecting data-in-use includes removing confidential values before they are processed or sent.
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.
Data-masking techniques can prevent sensitive values from appearing in transmitted payloads.
Classification identifies sensitive data so it is not inadvertently transmitted.
Labelling makes sensitive data visible to developers and prevents accidental inclusion in outbound messages.
Information-transfer rules directly govern what data may be sent to external parties.
PII-protection requirements reduce the chance of sending personal data to unauthorized recipients.
DLP controls inspect and block outbound flows that contain sensitive information.
