ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
During a pre-award audit, you must confirm that a prospective supplier actually applies secure coding controls in line with your NIST SSDF-aligned policy, not just documents them. Which evidence most directly demonstrates active adherence to those controls?
The supplier's documented software development life-cycle (SDLC) policy outlining security objectives
Detailed SAST reports for recent builds that include identified findings and their remediation status
A letter from the supplier's CTO affirming compliance with secure coding guidelines
A current ISO 9001 quality management certification for the supplier's development facility
Static application security testing (SAST) reports linked to specific release builds show that code is automatically scanned, issues are identified, and remediation is tracked before production. This is concrete, technical evidence that secure coding controls are embedded in the supplier's development workflow. A signed attestation, a generic SDLC policy, or an ISO 9001 certificate provide limited assurance; they show intent or general quality management, but they do not prove that secure coding practices are being executed on real code.
