SA-15(07) Automated Vulnerability Analysis

Control

Require the developer of the system, system component, or system service [Assignement: frequency] to:
  1. Perform an automated vulnerability analysis using [Assignement: tools];
  2. Determine the exploitation potential for discovered vulnerabilities;
  3. Determine potential risk mitigations for delivered vulnerabilities; and
  4. Deliver the outputs of the tools and results of the analysis to [Assignement: personnel or roles].

Discussion

Automated tools can be more effective at analyzing exploitable weaknesses or deficiencies in large and complex systems, prioritizing vulnerabilities by severity, and providing recommendations for risk mitigations.

Assessment Objective

  1. the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to perform automated vulnerability analysis [Assignement: frequency] using [Assignement: tools];
  2. the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to determine the exploitation potential for discovered vulnerabilities [Assignement: frequency];
  3. the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to determine potential risk mitigations [Assignement: frequency] for delivered vulnerabilities;
  4. the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to deliver the outputs of the tools and results of the analysis [Assignement: frequency] to [Assignement: personnel or roles].

Assessment Method

Examine

System and services acquisition policy procedures addressing development process, standards, and tools solicitation documentation acquisition documentation service level agreements acquisition contracts for the system, system component, or system service vulnerability analysis tools and associated documentation risk assessment reports vulnerability analysis results vulnerability mitigation reports risk mitigation strategy documentation system security plan other relevant documents or records

Interview

Organizational personnel with system and service acquisition responsibilities organizational personnel with information security responsibilities system developer organizational personnel performing automated vulnerability analysis on the system
