Other controls in C-SCRM Family: Configuration Management

You are reading one control. How much of NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 have you already done?

NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 161R1-CM-6 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 your existing evidence covers. Hold C5 (Germany) and 94 of 191 NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 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. 0 were rejected on the C5 (Germany) pair alone.
