Discussion

The organization does not condition its authorization on an expectation of indefinite non-disclosure to the public by the reporting entity but may request a specific time period to properly remediate the vulnerability.

Assessment objective

RA-05(11) a public reporting channel is established for receiving reports of vulnerabilities in organizational systems and system components.
