Term · Cybersecurity · MLC-T-CYB-001285

A defect check is a way to assess determination statements. It has the following additional properties. A defect check:
• Is stated as a test (wherever appropriate);
• Can be automated;
• Explicitly defines a particular desired state specification that is then compared to the corresponding actual state to determine the test result;
• Provides information that may help determine the degree of control effectiveness/level of risk that is acceptable;
• Suggests risk response options; and
• Assesses a corresponding sub-capability.
