SA - System and Services Acquisition

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-SA-4: Acquisition process

Requires acquisition contracts for the system, component or service to include, directly or by reference and using standardised contract language, the security and privacy functional requirements, strength of mechanism and assurance requirements, the controls needed, documentation requirements, protection of that documentation, description of the development environment and intended operating environment, allocation of responsibility for control implementation, and acceptance criteria.
