NIST SP 800-218 SP800-218-PO.5.1: Secure Development Environment Implementation

Implement and maintain secure environments for software development including source code repositories, build systems, and developer endpoints. Apply the same controls expected of production where the data sensitivity warrants.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 38 controls across 19 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

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

NIST SP 800-218 SP800-218-PO.5.1 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.
