FAQ-001242 - Multi-Platform Security Review Preparation / Security Documentation Requirements

For cross-platform security architecture, you should provide the following documentation: 1. **Architecture Diagrams**: Include data touch points, information flows, authentication, authorizations, and other security controls. 2. **Services and Artifacts**: List all components like web and mobile solutions, web services, APIs, and SDKs. 3. **Third-Party Libraries**: Provide an inventory of all third-party libraries and their versions, including vulnerability assessments. 4. **Security-Assurance Activities**: Document your SDLC methodology, vulnerability management, remediation SLAs, supplier security programs, and security-awareness training. 5. **Sensitive Data Inventory**: List sensitive data processed or stored, such as payment, personal, or health data. 6. **Data Storage Details**: Disclose storage locations and providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP). 7. **Third-Party Suppliers**: List suppliers with whom customer data is shared. 8. **Certifications**: Include reports like HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, or ISO27001. 9. **Support and Incident Reporting**: Provide contact information for support and security incident reporting. Additionally, include security scan reports, explanations for false positives, and detailed user documentation for your solution.

The FAQ content is generally comprehensive and accurate. I made minor clarifications to improve precision: changed 'required libraries' to 'all third-party libraries' to be more inclusive, and added 'including vulnerability assessments' to emphasize the importance of security evaluation for these libraries. These changes align with security best practices without altering the structure or adding new requirements. Regarding security rules selection: This FAQ covers comprehensive security documentation requirements for cross-platform applications, which directly relates to many Apex security rules since developers need to understand what security issues to document and address. Rules like ApexBadCrypto, ApexCRUDViolation, ApexCSRF relate to the 'security controls' mentioned in architecture diagrams. ApexDangerousMethods, ApexInsecureEndpoint, ApexOpenRedirect, ApexSharingViolations, ApexSOQLInjection relate to secure coding practices that should be documented in security-assurance activities. Credential-related rules (AvoidHardcodedCredentials*) relate to the authentication and authorization documentation requirements. Network security rules (AvoidInsecureHttp*, AvoidDisableProtocolSecurity*) relate to the secure endpoint documentation. Third-party library vulnerability rules directly relate to the 'Third-Party Libraries' documentation requirement mentioned in point 3.
