Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• SA-08(19) [Assignment: systems or system components] implement the security design principle of continuous protection.

Assessment Methods

Examine

• System and services acquisition policy
• access control policy
• system and communications protection policy
• procedures addressing boundary protection
• procedures addressing the security design principle of continuous protection used in the specification, design, development, implementation, and modification of the system
• system configuration settings and associated documentation
• system design documentation
• security and privacy requirements and specifications for the system
• system security and privacy architecture
• system security plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• Organizational personnel with the responsibility for determining system security and privacy requirements
• organizational personnel with system specification, design, development, implementation, and modification responsibilities
• organizational personnel with access enforcement responsibilities
• system/network administrators
• system developers
• organizational personnel with information security responsibilities
• organizational personnel with boundary protection responsibilities

Test

• Organizational processes for applying the security design principle of continuous protection in system specification, design, development, implementation, and modification
• mechanisms implementing access enforcement functions
• mechanisms supporting the application of the security design principle of continuous protection in system specification, design, development, implementation, and modification
• mechanisms supporting and/or implementing secure failure
