Production Verification (APP-010-R006) - APP-010

Requirement Details & Guidance

APP-010-R006 · APP-010

Why This Requirement Exists

Security risk must be understood before deployment so material vulnerabilities are not introduced into production without informed decisions.

Implementation Guidance

Perform risk assessments for applications and significant releases, define security acceptance criteria, document residual risk, and require appropriate approval for unresolved high-risk issues.
