CCI-000634 Definition

The organization limits the use of commercially provided information assurance (IA) and IA-enabled information technology products to those products that have been successfully evaluated against a National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP)-approved Protection Profile for a specific technology type, if such a profile exists.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed, when using commercially provided IA and IA-enabled IT products uses only products that have been successfully evaluated against a National Information Assurance partnership (NIAP)-approved Protection Profile for a specific technology type, if such a profile exists.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment obtains and examines the hardware and software lists to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed, when using commercially provided IA and IA-enabled IT products uses only products that have been successfully evaluated against a National Information Assurance partnership (NIAP)-approved Protection Profile for a specific technology type, if such a profile exists.

Compelling Evidence

1.) System security plan (SSP). 2.) System development life cycle (SDLC) documentation includes information as it relates to commercially provided IA or IA enabled IT products.
