NIST SP 800-218 SP800-218-PW.8.1: Executable Testing for Security
Test executable software to detect vulnerabilities using dynamic application security testing, fuzz testing, and penetration testing on a defined cadence. Tie test scope to risk and feature changes.

What else in your programme already covers this
This control maps to 44 controls across 22 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-ID.RA-01 Vulnerabilities in assets are identified, validated, and recorded
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 NIST SP 800-218 have you already done?
NIST SP 800-218 SP800-218-PW.8.1 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.
