CCI-001746

Ensure that cryptographic mechanisms used to provide organization-defined control are under configuration management.

Implementation Guidance

Determine if cryptographic mechanisms used to provide [CM-03(06)_ODP; controls provided by cryptographic mechanisms that are to be under configuration management are defined] are under configuration management.

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: Configuration management policy; procedures addressing system configuration change control; configuration management plan; system design documentation; system architecture and configuration documentation; system configuration settings and associated documentation; system security plan; other relevant documents or records]. Interview: [SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with configuration change control responsibilities; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities; system/network administrators; system developers; members of change control board or similar]. Test: [SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for configuration change control; cryptographic mechanisms implementing organizational security safeguards (controls)].

The controls below (if any) were marked by NIST as being related to CCI-001746.
