Australian Information Security Manual ISM-1909: Root cause analysis of vulnerabilities

In resolving vulnerabilities, root cause analysis is performed and, to the greatest extent possible, entire vulnerability classes are remediated.

Maintained by Gerard BlokdykVerified against the published standard Control text last updated

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 · 2 controls

  • NIST-CSF-ID.IM-03 Improvements are identified from execution of operational processes, procedures, and activities
  • NIST-CSF-RS.AN-08 An incident's magnitude is estimated and validated

CIS Controls v8 · 1 control

  • CIS-16.3 Perform Root Cause Analysis on Security Vulnerabilities

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
