Assessment Objective
Determine if:
- CM-04(01)[01] changes to the system are analyzed in a separate test environment before implementation in an operational environment;
- CM-04(01)[02] changes to the system are analyzed for security impacts due to flaws;
- CM-04(01)[03] changes to the system are analyzed for privacy impacts due to flaws;
- CM-04(01)[04] changes to the system are analyzed for security impacts due to weaknesses;
- CM-04(01)[05] changes to the system are analyzed for privacy impacts due to weaknesses;
- CM-04(01)[06] changes to the system are analyzed for security impacts due to incompatibility;
- CM-04(01)[07] changes to the system are analyzed for privacy impacts due to incompatibility;
- CM-04(01)[08] changes to the system are analyzed for security impacts due to intentional malice;
- CM-04(01)[09] changes to the system are analyzed for privacy impacts due to intentional malice.
