Regulation text
Risks related to design and architectural flaws. Distinct from implementation defects — a secure design can still have implementation defects but an insecure design cannot be fixed by perfect implementation. Requires use of threat modelling, secure design patterns, principles, and reference architectures throughout the SDLC.
