CCI-002506

Partition the system into organization-defined system components residing in separate physical or logical domains or environments based on organization-defined circumstances for physical or logical separation of components.

Implementation Guidance

Determine if the system is partitioned into [SC-32_ODP[01]; system components to reside in separate physical or logical domains or environments based on circumstances for the physical or logical separation of components are defined] residing in separate [SC-32_ODP[02]; one of the following PARAMETER VALUES is selected: {physical; logical}] domains or environments based on [SC-32_ODP[03]; circumstances for the physical or logical separation of components are defined].

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: System and communications protection policy; procedures addressing system partitioning; system design documentation; system configuration settings and associated documentation; system architecture; list of system physical domains (or environments); system facility diagrams; system network diagrams; system security plan; other relevant documents or records]. Interview: [SELECT FROM: System/network administrators; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities; organizational personnel installing, configuring, and/or maintaining the system; system developers/integrators]. Test: [SELECT FROM: Mechanisms supporting and/or implementing the physical separation of system components].
