Defines the system media downgrading process that includes employing downgrading mechanisms with strength and integrity commensurate with the security category or classification of the information.

Implementation Guidance

Determine if: - a [MP-08_ODP[01]; a system media downgrading process is defined] is established. - the [MP-08_ODP[01]; a system media downgrading process is defined] includes employing downgrading mechanisms with strength and integrity commensurate with the security category or classification of the information.

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: System media protection policy; procedures addressing media downgrading; system categorization documentation; list of media requiring downgrading; records of media downgrading; audit records; system security plan; other relevant documents or records]. Interview: [SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with system media downgrading responsibilities; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities; system/network administrators]. Test: [SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for media downgrading; mechanisms supporting and/or implementing media downgrading].
