NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-CM-12: CM-12 Information Location

a. Identify and document the location of [Assignment: organization-defined information] and the specific system components on which the information is processed and stored; b. Identify and document the users who have access to the system and system components where the information is processed and stored; and c. Document changes to the location (i.e., system or system components) where the information is processed and stored.
