CMMC 2.0 IA.L2-3.5.1: Identification

Identify system users, the processes acting on their behalf, and devices, so each is distinguishable before any access decision is made.

Other controls in Identification and Authentication

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

CMMC 2.0 IA.L2-3.5.1 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.
