sc-28(1)

protection of information at rest  | cryptographic protections

 

assessment objective:

Determine if:

sc-28(1)[1]

the organization defines information requiring cryptographic protection;

sc-28(1)[2]

the organization defines information system components with organization-defined information requiring cryptographic protection; and

sc-28(1)[3]

the information system employs cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure and modification of organization-defined information on organization-defined information system components.

potential assessment methods and objects:

Examine: [select from: System and communications protection policy; procedures addressing protection of information at rest; information system design documentation; information system configuration settings and associated documentation; cryptographic mechanisms and associated configuration documentation; information system audit records; other relevant documents or records].

Interview: [select from: System/network administrators; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities; system developer].

Test: [select from: Cryptographic mechanisms implementing confidentiality and integrity protections for information at rest].
