314.4(c)(4) — Secure development and assessment of applications

Requirement

Secure development practices are adopted for in-house developed applications used to transmit, access or store customer information, and procedures exist for evaluating, assessing or testing the security of externally developed applications the institution uses.

What the engine looks for

Every group below must be satisfied — by an affirmative statement, not a plan, a hedge or a denial — for the control to count as covered. A term ending in … matches any word it begins. Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.

Equivalent controls elsewhere

Matched on shared topics. Satisfying this control usually moves these too.
