Respond to Vulnerabilities

NIST SP 800-218 SP800-218-RV.3.1: Analyze Vulnerabilities to Identify Root Causes

Perform root cause analysis on confirmed vulnerabilities so that systemic weaknesses are identified and remediated, not just individual instances. Feed the lessons back into design, coding, and testing practices.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 15 controls across 11 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 · 3 controls

  • 10.2 Nonconformity and corrective action
  • 6.1.2 AI risk assessment
  • 9.1 Monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation

C5 (Germany) · 2 controls

  • SEC10-BP08 Establish a framework for learning from incidents
  • ASBv3-IR-7 Post-incident activity - conduct lesson learned and retain evidence

CIS Controls v8 · 1 control

  • CIS-16.3 Perform Root Cause Analysis on Security Vulnerabilities

ISO 27001:2022 · 1 control

  • 5.27 Learning from information security incidents

ISO 27002:2022 · 1 control

  • 5.27 Learning from information security incidents

SOC 2 · 1 control

  • SOC2-CC7.5 CC7.5 Recovering from security incidents

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.

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 SP800-218-RV.3.1 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.
