Overview
NIST is a comprehensive information security standard that provides a catalog of security and privacy controls for information systems and organizations. While initially designed for federal agencies, NIST has become widely adopted in the private sector, especially for organizations handling sensitive data, and serves as a comprehensive standard for information security and privacy protection across various industries.
This article organizes Common Weakness Enumerations (CWEs) relevant to NIST.
Each row in the table below outlines a specific compliance standard, categorized by the following columns:
Compliance Standard: The specific category of the standard to which the CWE is mapped.
Languages: Supported programming languages.
CWE-ID: The relevant CWE for this standard, along with a short description.
