PO.5.2 PO.5.2
Task of practice: Implement and Maintain Secure Environments for Software Development (PO.5)
High-Level Description
Practice Group: Prepare the Organization (PO)
Framework: NIST SP 800-218 SSDF v1.1
Secure and harden development endpoints (i.e., endpoints for software designers, developers, testers, builders, etc.) to perform development-related tasks using a risk-based approach.
What to Check
How to Test
Step 1: Review SDLC Documentation
Examine development lifecycle documentation for evidence of PO.5.2 practice implementation.
Step 2: Verify Tooling
# Check CI/CD pipeline configuration
# Verify security tools are integrated
# Example: Check for SAST/DAST in pipeline
grep -r "security\|scan\|sast\|dast" .github/workflows/ 2>/dev/null
grep -r "security\|scan" Jenkinsfile 2>/dev/null
Step 3: Assess Developer Awareness
Verify development team understands and follows PO.5.2 PO.5.2 practice.
