Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing can discover missing or incorrect neutralization logic.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 directly requires validation of information inputs to reject malformed or special-element content before it reaches downstream parsers.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering good match

Output filtering enforces neutralization properties on data leaving the system.
