ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
During an internal compliance audit, you must prove that every high-risk encryption requirement has been carried all the way from policy to code and finally verified. Which element of a well-constructed Security Requirement Traceability Matrix (SRTM) most directly enables this end-to-end demonstration?
The qualitative risk priority number assigned to the encryption requirement during threat modeling
The status field indicating whether each encryption requirement is marked Implemented or Not Implemented
The approved change request entries recorded by the configuration control board for encryption features
A unique requirement ID that is linked to architecture modules, source file references, and corresponding test case IDs
A unique requirement identifier cross-referenced to design components, source code locations, and specific test case IDs is what allows auditors to follow a straight line from the original requirement through implementation to verification. Merely showing status, risk ratings, or the change log does not provide concrete evidence that the requirement was built into the software and tested; without the explicit links supplied by the identifier, full traceability cannot be assured.
