Respond to Vulnerabilities

NIST SP 800-218 218-RV.1.1: Identify and Confirm Vulnerabilities on an Ongoing Basis

Continuously identify vulnerabilities in released software using internal testing, external reports, and intelligence from component upstreams. Confirm reproducibility and severity before treating findings.

Other controls in Respond to Vulnerabilities

You are reading one control. How much of NIST SP 800-218 have you already done?

NIST SP 800-218 218-RV.1.1 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIST SP 800-218 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 30 of 42 NIST SP 800-218 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. 0 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
