CM-01 [P] Policy and Procedures

Control

  1. Develop, document, and disseminate to [Assignement: organization-defined personnel or roles]:
    1. [Selection(one-or-more): organization-level; mission/business process-level; system-level] configuration management policy that:
      1. Addresses purpose, scope, roles, responsibilities, management commitment, coordination among organizational entities, and compliance; and
      2. Is consistent with applicable laws, executive orders, directives, regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines; and
    2. Procedures to facilitate the implementation of the configuration management policy and the associated configuration management controls;
  2. Designate an [Assignement: official] to manage the development, documentation, and dissemination of the configuration management policy and procedures; and
  3. Review and update the current configuration management:
    1. Policy [Assignement: frequency] and following [Assignement: events] ; and
    2. Procedures [Assignement: frequency] and following [Assignement: events].

Discussion

Configuration management policy and procedures address the controls in the CM family that are implemented within systems and organizations. The risk management strategy is an important factor in establishing such policies and procedures. Policies and procedures contribute to security and privacy assurance. Therefore, it is important that security and privacy programs collaborate on the development of configuration management policy and procedures. Security and privacy program policies and procedures at the organization level are preferable, in general, and may obviate the need for mission- or system-specific policies and procedures. The policy can be included as part of the general security and privacy policy or be represented by multiple policies that reflect the complex nature of organizations. Procedures can be established for security and privacy programs, for mission/business processes, and for systems, if needed. Procedures describe how the policies or controls are implemented and can be directed at the individual or role that is the object of the procedure. Procedures can be documented in system security and privacy plans or in one or more separate documents. Events that may precipitate an update to configuration management policy and procedures include, but are not limited to, assessment or audit findings, security incidents or breaches, or changes in applicable laws, executive orders, directives, regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines. Simply restating controls does not constitute an organizational policy or procedure.

Assessment Objective

    1. a configuration management policy is developed and documented;
    2. the configuration management policy is disseminated to [Assignement: personnel or roles];
    3. configuration management procedures to facilitate the implementation of the configuration management policy and associated configuration management controls are developed and documented;
    4. the configuration management procedures are disseminated to [Assignement: personnel or roles];
        1. the [Selection(one-or-more): organization-level; mission/business process-level; system-level] of the configuration management policy addresses purpose;
        2. the [Selection(one-or-more): organization-level; mission/business process-level; system-level] of the configuration management policy addresses scope;
        3. the [Selection(one-or-more): organization-level; mission/business process-level; system-level] of the configuration management policy addresses roles;
        4. the [Selection(one-or-more): organization-level; mission/business process-level; system-level] of the configuration management policy addresses responsibilities;
        5. the [Selection(one-or-more): organization-level; mission/business process-level; system-level] of the configuration management policy addresses management commitment;
        6. the [Selection(one-or-more): organization-level; mission/business process-level; system-level] of the configuration management policy addresses coordination among organizational entities;
        7. the [Selection(one-or-more): organization-level; mission/business process-level; system-level] of the configuration management policy addresses compliance;
      2. the configuration management policy is consistent with applicable laws, Executive Orders, directives, regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines;
  2. the [Assignement: official] is designated to manage the development, documentation, and dissemination of the configuration management policy and procedures;
      1. the current configuration management policy is reviewed and updated [Assignement: frequency];
      2. the current configuration management policy is reviewed and updated following [Assignement: events];
      1. the current configuration management procedures are reviewed and updated [Assignement: frequency];
      2. the current configuration management procedures are reviewed and updated following [Assignement: events].

CM-04 [P] Impact Analyses

Control

Analyze changes to the system to determine potential security and privacy impacts prior to change implementation.

Discussion

Organizational personnel with security or privacy responsibilities conduct impact analyses. Individuals conducting impact analyses possess the necessary skills and technical expertise to analyze the changes to systems as well as the security or privacy ramifications. Impact analyses include reviewing security and privacy plans, policies, and procedures to understand control requirements; reviewing system design documentation and operational procedures to understand control implementation and how specific system changes might affect the controls; reviewing the impact of changes on organizational supply chain partners with stakeholders; and determining how potential changes to a system create new risks to the privacy of individuals and the ability of implemented controls to mitigate those risks. Impact analyses also include risk assessments to understand the impact of the changes and determine if additional controls are required.

Assessment Objective

  1. changes to the system are analyzed to determine potential security impacts prior to change implementation;
  2. changes to the system are analyzed to determine potential privacy impacts prior to change implementation.

Assessment Method
