CWEs ranked by how often they appear in real CVEs. The rationale describes how this control reduces exploitability of each weakness class.

CWE Name CVEs Why this control addresses it
CWE-693Protection Mechanism Failure476Explicit risk framing ensures protection mechanisms are selected, sized, and maintained consistent with organizational risk tolerance, reducing the chance that a mechanism fails because its risk context was never defined.
CWE-657Violation of Secure Design Principles19Documenting assumptions, constraints, priorities, trade-offs, and risk tolerance directly supports adherence to secure design principles rather than allowing unexamined risk decisions to produce violations.
