NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-MP-8: MP-8 Media Downgrading

What does NIST800-MP-8 require?

a. Establish [Assignment: organization-defined system media downgrading process] that includes employing downgrading mechanisms with strength and integrity commensurate with the security category or classification of the information; b. Verify that the system media downgrading process is commensurate with the security category and/or classification level of the information to be removed and the access authorizations of the potential recipients of the downgraded information; c. Identify [Assignment: organization-defined system media requiring downgrading]; and d. Downgrade the identified system media using the established process.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 5 controls across 4 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

SOC 2 · 2 controls

  • SOC2-CC6.5 CC6.5 Protecting data on assets until disposal
  • SOC2-P4.3 P4.3 Securely disposing of personal information

CMMC 2.0 · 1 control

ISO 27002:2022 · 1 control

  • 7.14 Secure disposal or re-use of equipment

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.

Other controls in MP - Media Protection

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-MP-8 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.

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. 342 were rejected on the ISO 27001:2022 pair alone.
