NIST SP 800-218 SP800-218-PO.2.1: Roles and Responsibilities for Secure Development

Define and assign roles and responsibilities for secure software development across product, engineering, security, and operations. Make the responsibilities measurable so that ownership for security work is clear.

Other controls in Prepare the Organization

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

NIST SP 800-218 SP800-218-PO.2.1 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.
