Security requirements baseline: A set of minimum security requirements that a system, application, or environment must meet to ensure a satisfactory level of protection against potential threats. This baseline is established after conducting a risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities and threats. It serves as a foundation for the design and implementation of security controls and as a reference point for auditing and compliance checks. By adhering to a security requirements baseline, an organization can ensure a consistent level of security across its systems and processes.
