Implementation Guidance

Determine if: - configuration change control activities are coordinated and overseen by [CM-03_ODP[02]; the configuration change control element responsible for coordinating and overseeing change control activities is defined]. - the configuration control element convenes [CM-03_ODP[03]; one or more of the following PARAMETER VALUES is/are selected: {[CM-03_ODP[04]; the frequency at which the configuration control element convenes is defined (if selected)]; when [CM-03_ODP[05]; configuration change conditions that prompt the configuration control element to convene are defined (if selected)]}]].

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: Configuration management policy; procedures addressing system configuration change control; configuration management plan; system architecture and configuration documentation; change control records; system audit records; change control audit and review reports; agenda/minutes/documentation from configuration change control oversight meetings; system security plan; privacy plan; privacy impact assessments; system of records notices; other relevant documents or records]. Interview: [SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with configuration change control responsibilities; organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities; system/network administrators; members of change control board or similar]. Test: [SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for configuration change control; mechanisms that implement configuration change control].
