Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• AC-16a.
  • AC-16a.[01] the means to associate [Assignment: types of security attributes] with [Assignment: security attribute values] for information in storage, in process, and/or in transmission are provided;
  • AC-16a.[02] the means to associate [Assignment: types of privacy attributes] with [Assignment: privacy attribute values] for information in storage, in process, and/or in transmission are provided;
• AC-16b.
  • AC-16b.[01] attribute associations are made;
  • AC-16b.[02] attribute associations are retained with the information;
• AC-16c.
  • AC-16c.[01] the following permitted security attributes are established from the attributes defined in AC-16_ODP[01] for [Assignment: systems]: [Assignment: security attributes];
  • AC-16c.[02] the following permitted privacy attributes are established from the attributes defined in AC-16_ODP[02] for [Assignment: systems]: [Assignment: privacy attributes];
• AC-16d. the following permitted attribute values or ranges for each of the established attributes are determined: [Assignment: attribute values or ranges];
• AC-16e. changes to attributes are audited;
• AC-16f.
  • AC-16f.[01] [Assignment: security attributes] are reviewed for applicability [Assignment: frequency];
  • AC-16f.[02] [Assignment: privacy attributes] are reviewed for applicability [Assignment: frequency].

Assessment Methods

Examine

• Access control policy
• procedures addressing the association of security and privacy attributes to information in storage, in process, and in transmission
• system design documentation
• system configuration settings and associated documentation
• system audit records
• system security plan
• privacy plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• System/network administrators
• organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities
• system developers

Test

• Organizational capability supporting and maintaining the association of security and privacy attributes to information in storage, in process, and in transmission
