RV.3.3 Review SDLC to Prevent Recurrence
Review the software development process and update it as appropriate to prevent the root causes of vulnerabilities from recurring in future releases.
Source: NIST SP 800-218 (SSDF), RV.3.3. The statement above is our statement of the clause, read from the published text and cited so you can check it against the official text, not the instrument verbatim. Open NIST SP 800-218 (SSDF) in the compliance library.
These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.
