Assessment Objective
Determine if:
- SC-03(05) security functions are implemented as a layered structure, minimizing interactions between layers of the design and avoiding any dependence by lower layers on the functionality or correctness of higher layers.
Assessment Methods
Examine
- System and communications protection policy
- procedures addressing security function isolation
- system design documentation
- system configuration settings and associated documentation
- system audit records
- system security plan
- other relevant documents or records
Interview
- System/network administrators
- organizational personnel with information security responsibilities
Test
- Organizational processes for implementing security functions as a layered structure that minimizes interactions between layers and avoids dependence by lower layers on functionality/correctness of higher layers
- mechanisms supporting and/or implementing security functions as a layered structure
