cyberstrikeus PO.1.2 PO.1.2
Task of practice: Define Security Requirements for Software Development (PO.1)
High-Level Description
Practice Group: Prepare the Organization (PO) Framework: NIST SP 800-218 SSDF v1.1
Identify and document all security requirements for organization-developed software to meet, and maintain the requirements over time.
What to Check
- Verify PO.1.2 PO.1.2 is integrated into SDLC
- Review CI/CD pipeline for PO.1.2 implementation
- Confirm automated tooling supports this practice
How to Test
Step 1: Review SDLC Documentation
Examine development lifecycle documentation for evidence of PO.1.2 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 PO.1.2 PO.1.2 practice.
