NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-PL-8: PL-8 Security and Privacy Architectures

a. Develop security and privacy architectures for the system that: 1. Describe the requirements and approach to be taken for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of organizational information; 2. Describe the requirements and approach to be taken for processing personally identifiable information to minimize privacy risk to individuals; 3. Describe how the architectures are integrated into and support the enterprise architecture; and 4. Describe any assumptions about, and dependencies on, external systems and services; b. Review and update the architectures [Assignment: organization-defined frequency] to reflect changes in the enterprise architecture; and c. Reflect planned architecture changes in security and privacy plans, Concept of Operations (CONOPS), criticality analysis, organizational procedures, and procurements and acquisitions.

Other controls in PL - Planning

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-PL-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.
