ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
Your organization is selecting a well-known software security framework to integrate into existing DevSecOps pipelines. Senior management asks why adopting such a framework is worthwhile when teams already follow their own coding guidelines. Which reason BEST explains the primary benefit of implementing an industry-recognized security framework in this context?
It automatically places every application in compliance with all applicable regulations without any additional work.
It lets developers reduce documentation because the framework assumes evidence of security tasks is unnecessary.
It supplies a flexible, industry-validated set of best-practice controls that teams can tailor to their risk profiles, giving everyone a common language for security.
It removes the need for separate cryptography standards by listing pre-approved encryption algorithms for all use cases.
Frameworks such as NIST SSDF, OWASP SAMM, and SAFECode capture consensus best practices and organize them across the software development lifecycle in a maturity-based structure. By adopting one, the organization gains a shared, industry-validated set of security expectations and terminology that teams can tailor to their risk profiles, promoting consistent risk management and easier communication with auditors and regulators. While a framework can support compliance efforts, it does not by itself guarantee full regulatory coverage, supply ready-made cryptographic standards, or eliminate documentation duties.
