ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
Your team is building a multi-tenant SaaS application that processes regulated PII data. Management asks how to ensure security controls are consistently built into each user story in the agile backlog. Which practice best aligns with guidance from OWASP ASVS and SAFECode for integrating security into the SDLC?
Map each feature's functional requirements to the relevant OWASP ASVS control objectives and make those controls part of the story's acceptance criteria during backlog refinement.
Treat both SAFECode and ASVS guidelines as optional references that external auditors may consult rather than embedding them in development tasks.
Reserve OWASP ASVS requirements for a penetration test conducted after the production deployment is complete.
Apply SAFECode development practices only during the post-release maintenance phase to minimize disruption to sprint velocity.
OWASP's Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) recommends translating its control objectives into concrete, testable requirements that are added to functional specifications or user stories. SAFECode likewise stresses embedding secure coding practices and verification criteria early in development rather than relying on post-release activities. Integrating ASVS-mapped controls as acceptance criteria during backlog grooming makes the controls measurable, automatable in CI/CD, and mandatory for every feature. Restricting ASVS to late-stage penetration tests, deferring SAFECode practices to maintenance, or treating either framework as optional all conflict with their guidance to build security in from the outset.
