CIS Controls v8 CIS-16.11: Leverage Vetted Modules or Services for Application Security Components
Rely on vetted modules or services for security components of applications, for example identity management, encryption, and audit logging. Using platform features for critical security functions lightens the load on developers and lowers the chance of design or implementation mistakes. Current operating systems offer sound mechanisms for identification, authentication and authorisation and expose them to applications. Use only encryption algorithms that are standardised, currently accepted and widely reviewed. Operating systems also offer ways to create and keep secure audit logs.

What else in your programme already covers this
This control maps to 39 controls across 15 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-CSF-PR.PS-06 Secure software development practices are integrated, and their performance is monitored throughout the software development life cycle
You are reading one control. How much of CIS Controls v8 have you already done?
CIS Controls v8 CIS-16.11 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of CIS Controls v8 your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27001:2022 and 102 of 153 CIS Controls v8 controls already carry evidence.
Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 240 were rejected on the ISO 27001:2022 pair alone.
