What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 31 controls across 15 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 · 6 controls

  • 6.5.6 Test data and accounts removed before production
  • 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
  • 6.5.3 Pre-production environments are separated from production environments and the separation is enforced with access controls
  • 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.
  • 7.2.5 All application and system accounts and related access privileges are assigned and managed as follows: • Based on the least privileges necessary for the operability of the system or application. • Access is limited

Other controls in CM - Configuration Management

You are reading one control. How much of FedRAMP Moderate have you already done?

FedRAMP Moderate CM-5(5) is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of FedRAMP Moderate your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27002:2022 and 182 of 323 FedRAMP Moderate controls already carry evidence.

If you hold ISO 27002:202256.3% covered · 141 gapsIf you hold PCI DSS 4.051.1% covered · 158 gapsIf you hold ISO 27001:202249.8% covered · 162 gapsIf you hold NIST SP 800-171 Rev 345.5% covered · 176 gapsIf you hold C5 (Germany)37.2% covered · 203 gapsIf you hold CMMC 2.035% covered · 210 gaps

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. 348 were rejected on the ISO 27002:2022 pair alone.
