Subject: Does Ada need a 'secure coding standard' as well?

I saw that CMU makes now what is called CERT (secure coding standards)
for different languages. They have Java, C, C++ in there.

These are supposed to be rules that a programmer should adopt to
make the code written by that language more 'safe' and 'secure'

Here is the one for C for example

https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/seccode/CERT+C+Secure+Coding+Standard

I was wondering if Ada would benefit of having something like this?
such secure programming rules customized for Ada.

Or if it is even needed as much for Ada?  Some of the rules
seem good to know about

May be some of this material is allready in the Ada rational in
different places. not sure now.
