What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 30 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.

  • DP-2 Monitor anomalies and threats targeting sensitive data
  • LT-4 Enable network logging for security investigation
  • LT-5 Centralize security log management and analysis

Other controls in RA

You are reading one control. How much of NIST SP 800-172 have you already done?

NIST SP 800-172 3.11.2e is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIST SP 800-172 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 24 of 35 NIST SP 800-172 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. 5 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
