Associate organization-defined security attributes with information exchanged between system components.

Implementation Guidance

Determine if: - [SC-16_ODP[01]; security attributes to be associated with information exchanged are defined] are associated with information exchanged between systems. - [SC-16_ODP[01]; security attributes to be associated with information exchanged are defined] are associated with information exchanged between system components. - [SC-16_ODP[02]; privacy attributes to be associated with information exchanged are defined] are associated with information exchanged between systems. - [SC-16_ODP[02]; privacy attributes to be associated with information exchanged are defined] are associated with information exchanged between system components.

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: System and communications protection policy; procedures addressing the transmission of security and privacy attributes; access control policy and procedures; information flow control policy; 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: System/network administrators; organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities].
