The designer must create and update the Design Document for each release of the application.
Low Severity
<VulnDiscussion>This requirement is meant to apply to developers or organizations that are doing application development work. The application design document or configuration guide includes configuration settings, recommendations and best practices that pertain to the secure deployment of the application. It also contains the detailed functional architecture as well as any changes to the application architecture corresponding to a new version release and must be documented to ensure all risks are assessed and mitigated to the maximum extent practical. Failure to do so may result in unexposed risk, and failure to mitigate the risk leading to failure or compromise of the system.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
