CCI-002304

Change security attributes associated with information are reassigned only via re-grading mechanisms validated using organization-defined techniques or procedures.

Implementation Guidance

Determine if: - security attributes associated with information are changed only via regrading mechanisms validated using [AC-16(09)_ODP[01]; techniques or procedures used to validate regrading mechanisms for security attributes are defined]. - privacy attributes associated with information are changed only via regrading mechanisms validated using [AC-16(09)_ODP[02]; techniques or procedures used to validate regrading mechanisms for privacy attributes are defined].

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: Access control policy; procedures addressing reassignment of security attributes to information; system design documentation; system configuration settings and associated documentation; system audit records; system security plan; privacy plan; other relevant documents or records]. Interview: [SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with responsibilities for reassigning association of security and privacy attributes to information; organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities; system developers]. Test: [SELECT FROM: Mechanisms implementing techniques or procedures for reassigning association of security and privacy attributes to information].
