CCI-000029

The information system enforces organization-defined limitations on the embedding of data types within other data types.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to enforce limitations defined in AC-4 (5), CCI 1415 on the embedding of data types within other data types. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization being inspected/assessed must comply with the STIG/SRG guidance that pertains to CCI 29.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to enforce limitations defined in AC-4 (5), CCI 1415 on the embedding of data types within other data types. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization conducting the inspection/assessment evaluates the components to ensure that the organization being inspected/assessed has configured the information system in compliance with the applicable STIGs and SRGs pertaining to CCI 29.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Signed and dated documentation that shows the system is configured to limit embedding of data types within other data types as defined in AC-4(5), CCI 1415. 2.) Applicable STIG/SRG checks.

The controls below (if any) were marked by NIST as being related to CCI-000029.
