Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• SA-17(a)
  • SA-17(a)[01] the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to produce a design specification and security architecture that are consistent with the organization’s security architecture, which is an integral part the organization’s enterprise architecture;
  • SA-17(a)[02] the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to produce a design specification and privacy architecture that are consistent with the organization’s privacy architecture, which is an integral part the organization’s enterprise architecture;
• SA-17(b)
  • SA-17(b)[01] the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to produce a design specification and security architecture that accurately and completely describe the required security functionality and the allocation of controls among physical and logical components;
  • SA-17(b)[02] the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to produce a design specification and privacy architecture that accurately and completely describe the required privacy functionality and the allocation of controls among physical and logical components;
• SA-17(c)
  • SA-17(c)[01] the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to produce a design specification and security architecture that express how individual security functions, mechanisms, and services work together to provide required security capabilities and a unified approach to protection;
  • SA-17(c)[02] the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to produce a design specification and privacy architecture that express how individual privacy functions, mechanisms, and services work together to provide required privacy capabilities and a unified approach to protection.

Assessment Methods

Examine

• System and services acquisition policy
• system and services acquisition procedures
• enterprise architecture policy
• enterprise architecture documentation
• procedures addressing developer security and privacy architecture and design specifications for the system
• solicitation documentation
• acquisition documentation
• service level agreements
• acquisition contracts for the system, system component, or system service
• system design documentation
• information system configuration settings and associated documentation
• system security plan
• privacy plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• Organizational personnel with acquisition responsibilities
• organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities
• system developer
