NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-IA-12: IA-12 Identity Proofing

a. Identity proof users that require accounts for logical access to systems based on appropriate identity assurance level requirements as specified in applicable standards and guidelines; b. Resolve user identities to a unique individual; and c. Collect, validate, and verify identity evidence.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 22 controls across 14 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

You are reading one control. How much of NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 have you already done?

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-IA-12 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27001:2022 and 163 of 1014 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls already carry evidence.
