Task of practice: Analyze Vulnerabilities to Identify Their Root Causes (RV.3)
High-Level Description
Practice Group: Respond to Vulnerabilities (RV) Framework: NIST SP 800-218 SSDF v1.1
Analyze identified vulnerabilities to determine their root causes.
What to Check
- Verify RV.3.1 RV.3.1 is integrated into SDLC
- Review CI/CD pipeline for RV.3.1 implementation
- Confirm automated tooling supports this practice
How to Test
Step 1: Review SDLC Documentation
Examine development lifecycle documentation for evidence of RV.3.1 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 RV.3.1 RV.3.1 practice.
