Identify and Confirm Vulnerabilities on an Ongoing Basis (RV.1) Identify and Confirm Vulnerabilities on an Ongoing Basis
High-Level Description
Practice Group: Respond to Vulnerabilities (RV) Framework: NIST SP 800-218 SSDF v1.1
Help ensure that vulnerabilities are identified more quickly so that they can be remediated more quickly in accordance with risk, reducing the window of opportunity for attackers.
What to Check
- Verify Identify and Confirm Vulnerabilities on an Ongoing Basis (RV.1) Identify and Confirm Vulnerabilities on an Ongoing Basis is integrated into SDLC
- Review CI/CD pipeline for Identify and Confirm Vulnerabilities on an Ongoing Basis (RV.1) implementation
- Confirm automated tooling supports this practice
How to Test
Step 1: Review SDLC Documentation
Examine development lifecycle documentation for evidence of Identify and Confirm Vulnerabilities on an Ongoing Basis (RV.1) practice implementation.
Step 2: Verify Tooling
# Check CI/CD pipeline configuration
# Verify security tools are integrated
# Example: Check for SAST/DAST in pipeline
grep -r "security\|scan\|sast\|dast" .github/workflows/ 2>/dev/null
grep -r "security\|scan" Jenkinsfile 2>/dev/null
Step 3: Assess Developer Awareness
Verify development team understands and follows Identify and Confirm Vulnerabilities on an Ongoing Basis (RV.1) Identify and Confirm Vulnerabilities on an Ongoing Basis practice.
