Mapping issue: NIST SSDF to NIST SP 800-53

Issue

What is the issue?

The mapping from NIST SSDF PO.1.2 (Identify and document all security requirements) to SP800-53 gives SC-18 Mobile Code as the only Direct mapping. This doesn't seem correct.

Expected Behaviour

I don't have extensive knowledge of 800-53, but I would think SA-8 is a closer match for instance.

@aramhovsepyan SSDF and SP800 are about different worlds. SSDf PO.1.2 refers to requirement to have the process of identifying security requirements and documenting them. The SP800-53 SA-8 is NOT about that process. It IS about a set of these security requirements itself (the privacy principles. These requirements apply to the technology, whereas the SSSD requirements apply to the organisation. Makes sense?
