ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
Your agency is developing a new cloud-based benefits portal using a secure SDLC. The team has completed requirements and is now entering the design phase. Which security activity should receive top priority during this phase to embed security early?
Perform static code analysis to identify vulnerabilities in application source code.
Define and document the system's security architecture, selecting and allocating appropriate controls.
Conduct penetration testing of the staging environment to validate deployed controls.
Draft and execute a media sanitization plan for retiring legacy components.
In the design phase, NIST SP 800-64 Rev. 2 states that developers should translate security requirements into a detailed security architecture and determine how needed controls will be allocated among system components. Activities such as static code analysis belong to the development/implementation phase, penetration testing aligns with the testing or implementation/assessment phase, and media sanitization planning is performed during the disposal phase. Focusing on control selection and security architecture during design ensures later phases build on a secure foundation.
