Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• MP-08a.
  • MP-08a.[01] a [Assignment: system media downgrading process] is established;
  • MP-08a.[02] the [Assignment: system media downgrading process] includes employing downgrading mechanisms with strength and integrity commensurate with the security category or classification of the information;
• MP-08b.
  • MP-08b.[01] there is verification that the system media downgrading process is commensurate with the security category and/or classification level of the information to be removed;
  • MP-08b.[02] there is verification that the system media downgrading process is commensurate with the access authorizations of the potential recipients of the downgraded information;
• MP-08c. [Assignment: system media requiring downgrading] is identified;
• MP-08d. the identified system media is downgraded using the [Assignment: system media downgrading process].

Assessment Methods

• System media protection policy
• procedures addressing media downgrading
• system categorization documentation
• list of media requiring downgrading
• records of media downgrading
• audit records
• system security plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• Organizational personnel with system media downgrading responsibilities
• organizational personnel with information security responsibilities
• system/network administrators

Test

• Organizational processes for media downgrading
• mechanisms supporting and/or implementing media downgrading
