The evaluation compares the current systems' security posture with specific ...
ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 Systems and software engineering – Software life cycle processes [1] is an international standard for software lifecycle processes. First introduced in 1995, it aims to be a primary standard that defines all the processes required for developing and maintaining software systems, including the outcomes and/or activities of each process.
It directs the organization to make use of NIST Special Publication 800-37, which implies that the Risk management framework (RMF) STEP 6 – AUTHORIZE INFORMATION SYSTEM replaces the Certification and Accreditation process for National Security Systems, just as it did for all other areas of the Federal government who fall under SP 800-37 Rev. 1.

Many people and organisations are involved in the development and maintenance of the ISO27K standards. The first standard in this series was ISO/IEC 17799:2000; this was a fast-tracking of the existing British standard BS 7799 part 1:1999.
encouraging documentation process standards, such as the creation of well-defined engineering documents using standard templates; mentoring how to conduct standard processes, such as quality reviews; performing in-process test data recording procedures; identifying standards, if any, that should be used in software development processes
On its IRS filings, it is known as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, although ISACA now goes by its acronym only. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] ISACA currently offers 8 certification programs, as well as other micro-certificates.
