NIST SP 800-218 SP800-218-PS.3.1: Archive and Protect Released Software

Archive each release along with its source, build metadata, and dependencies. Retain the archive long enough to support incident response, customer support, and regulatory obligations.

Other controls in Protect the Software

You are reading one control. How much of NIST SP 800-218 have you already done?

NIST SP 800-218 SP800-218-PS.3.1 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIST SP 800-218 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 30 of 42 NIST SP 800-218 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 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
