The Secure Software Requirements Competency benchmark measures your ability to define software security requirements and identify and analyze compliance requirements, data classification requirements, and privacy requirements. You will be evaluated on your skills in developing misuse and abuse cases, using the Security Requirements Traceability Matrix (STRM), and ensuring security requirements flow down to the suppliers/providers. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills to recognize secure software requirements such as abuse cases, software specifications, and traceability matrixes.
