ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
A CISO wants to understand how the organization's current secure software practices compare with those used by hundreds of other enterprises in the real world. Which industry framework best supports this benchmarking goal without prescribing a specific set of controls to implement?
ISO/IEC 27034 Application Security Management standard
NIST Special Publication 800-218 Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF)
PCI DSS Secure Software Lifecycle (Secure SLC) standard
The Building Security In Maturity Model (BSIMM) is intentionally designed as a descriptive, observation-based study of the software security activities actually performed by a wide range of organizations. Security leaders use BSIMM to measure and benchmark their own software security initiatives (SSIs) against the practices of industry peers, revealing gaps and areas for improvement. In contrast, ISO/IEC 27034, NIST's Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF), and PCI DSS all provide prescriptive requirements or guidance that organizations are expected to adopt or comply with, rather than a benchmarking view of what others are currently doing.
