General Capability Questions

1) Product Accessibility <CR_2.4>

Provide a short description of how and where your capability is made available to your customers and the public (required):

The SecurityAlert Database contains CVE references that are updated everyday and are based on the most recent updates made by Mitre. Anyone can access this information through the SecurityAlert Database visiting http://securityreason.com/security_alert.
Mapping Questions

4) Map Currency Indication <CR_5.1>

Describe how and where your capability indicates the most recent CVE version used to create or update its mappings (required):

We do not reference CVE versions because our data is linked directly to the CVE data in the MITRE database.

5) Map Currency Update Approach <CR_5.2>

Indicate how often you plan on updating the mappings to reflect new CVE versions and describe your approach to keeping reasonably current with CVE versions when mapping them to your repository (recommended):

Mappings are updated constantly by obtaining the latest mapping file directly from mitre.org and nvd.nist.gov. All our CVE data includes most recent CVE numbers.

6) Map Currency Update Time <CR_5.3>

Describe how and where you explain to your customers the timeframe they should expect an update of your capability's mappings to reflect a newly released CVE version (recommended):

We do not have time frame for CVE mappings but we provide constant updates.
Documentation Questions

7) CVE and Compatibility Documentation<CR_4.1>

Provide a copy, or directions to its location, of where your documentation describes CVE and CVE compatibility for your customers (required):

We provide search option, searching by "CVE", visible from from search page.

8) Documentation of Finding Elements Using CVE Names <CR_4.2>

Provide a copy, or directions to its location, of where your documentation describes the specific details of how your customers can use CVE names to find the individual security elements within your capability's repository (required):

The SecurityReason has a visible option - search by - "CVE" on search page.

9) Documentation of Finding CVE Names Using Elements <CR_4.3>

Provide a copy, or directions to its location, of where your documentation describes the process a user would follow to find the CVE names associated with individual security elements within your capability's repository (required):

The CVE name of a vulnerability, if available, is displayed in the "Details" tab of the SecurityAlert Database.
Candidate Support Questions

11) Candidates Versus Entries Indication <CR_6.1>

If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain how you indicate that candidates are not accepted CVE entries (required):

Vulnerabilities from SecurityAlert Database include hyperlinks to the candidate in the MITRE database which do display the message that the candidate is under review, because there is not direct explanation to the difference between CAN and CVE bulletins.

12) Candidates Versus Entries Explanation <CR_6.2>

If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how the difference between candidates and entries is explained to your customers (recommended):

The SecurityAlert Database does not provide any explanation of this, also see response in Item 11.

13) Candidate to Entry Promotion <CR_6.3>

If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain your policy for changing candidates into entries within your capability and describe where and how this is communicated to your customers (recommended):

When there were made changes by Mitre then in our SecurityAlert Databes we also make changes. In our Database store the candidate and the CVE name.

14) Candidate Mapping Currency Indication <CR_6.6>

If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's ability to look for candidates and entries by using just the YYYY-NNNN portion of the CVE names (recommended):

We do not provide any indication about how up-to-date the candidate information is, though we constantly add them as they are issued.

Type-Specific Capability Questions

Online Capability Questions

24) Finding Online Capability Tasks Using CVE Names <CR_A.4.1>

Give detailed examples and explanations of how a "find" or "search" function is available to the user to locate tasks in the online capability by looking for their associated CVE name or through an online mapping that links each element of the capability with its associated CVE name(s) (required):
