Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• SA-03(02)a.
  • SA-03(02)a.[01] the use of live data in pre-production environments is approved for the system, system component, or system service;
  • SA-03(02)a.[02] the use of live data in pre-production environments is documented for the system, system component, or system service;
  • SA-03(02)a.[03] the use of live data in pre-production environments is controlled for the system, system component, or system service;
• SA-03(02)b. pre-production environments for the system, system component, or system service are protected at the same impact or classification level as any live data in use within the pre-production environments.

Assessment Methods

Examine

• System and services acquisition policy
• system and services acquisition procedures
• procedures addressing the integration of security and privacy into the system development life cycle process
• system development life cycle documentation
• security risk assessment documentation
• privacy impact assessment
• privacy risk assessment documentation
• system security plan
• privacy plan
• data mapping documentation
• personally identifiable information processing policy
• procedures addressing the authority to test with personally identifiable information
• procedures addressing the minimization of personally identifiable information used in testing, training, and research
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• Organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibility
• organizational personnel with system life cycle development responsibilities

Test

• Organizational processes the use of live data in pre-production environments
• mechanisms for protecting live data in pre-production environments
