CMMC 2.0 CM.L2-3.4.5: Access Restrictions for Change

Define, document, approve and enforce the physical and logical access restrictions that apply to making changes to systems.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 38 controls across 22 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

PCI DSS 4.0 · 4 controls

  • 1.2.2 Changes to NSC reviewed and approved
  • 6.5.1 Changes to all system components in the production environment are made according to established procedures that include: • Reason for, and description of, the change. • Documentation of security impact. • Documented change approval
  • 6.5.4 Roles and functions are separated between production and pre-production environments to provide accountability such that only reviewed and approved changes are deployed
  • 7.2.4 All user accounts and related access privileges, including third-party/vendor accounts, are reviewed as follows: • At least once every six months. • To ensure user accounts and access remain appropriate based on job function.

Other controls in Configuration Management

You are reading one control. How much of CMMC 2.0 have you already done?

CMMC 2.0 CM.L2-3.4.5 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of CMMC 2.0 your existing evidence covers. Hold FedRAMP Moderate and 108 of 110 CMMC 2.0 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 1 were rejected on the FedRAMP Moderate pair alone.
