Assessment Objective
Determine if:
- SA-17(03)(a)
- SA-17(03)(a)[01] as an integral part of the development process, the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to produce a formal top-level specification that specifies the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware in terms of exceptions;
- SA-17(03)(a)[02] as an integral part of the development process, the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to produce a formal top-level specification that specifies the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware in terms of error messages;
- SA-17(03)(a)[03] as an integral part of the development process, the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to produce a formal top-level specification that specifies the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware in terms of effects;
- SA-17(03)(b) the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to show proof that the formal top-level specification is consistent with the formal policy model to the extent feasible with additional informal demonstration as necessary;
- SA-17(03)(c) the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to show via informal demonstration that the formal top-level specification completely covers the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware;
- SA-17(03)(d) the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to show that the formal top-level specification is an accurate description of the implemented security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware;
- SA-17(03)(e) the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to describe the security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware mechanisms that are not addressed in the formal top-level specification but are strictly internal to the security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware.
Assessment Methods
Examine
- System and services acquisition policy
- enterprise architecture policy
- formal policy model
- procedures addressing developer security architecture and design specifications for the system
- solicitation documentation
- acquisition documentation
- service level agreements
- acquisition contracts for the system, system component, or system service
- formal top-level specification documentation
- system security architecture and design documentation
- system design documentation
- system configuration settings and associated documentation
- documentation describing security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware mechanisms not addressed in the formal top-level specification 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 with information security architecture and design responsibilities
