FedRAMP Moderate IA-5(1): Password-Based Authentication

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 32 controls across 19 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

8.3.2 Strong cryptography is used to render all authentication factors unreadable during transmission and storage on all system components
8.3.5 If passwords/passphrases are used as authentication factors to meet Requirement 8.3.1, they are set and reset for each user as follows: • Set to a unique value for first-time use and upon reset. •
8.3.6 If passwords/passphrases are used as authentication factors to meet Requirement 8.3.1, they meet the following minimum level of complexity: • A minimum length of 12 characters (or IF the system does not support 12

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

FedRAMP Moderate IA-5(1) 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 gaps If you hold PCI DSS 4.051.1% covered · 158 gaps If you hold ISO 27001:202249.8% covered · 162 gaps If you hold NIST SP 800-171 Rev 345.5% covered · 176 gaps If you hold C5 (Germany)37.2% covered · 203 gaps If 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.
