NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-SC-20: SC-20 Secure Name/Address Resolution Service (Authoritative Source)

a. Provide additional data origin authentication and integrity verification artifacts along with the authoritative name resolution data the system returns in response to external name/address resolution queries; and b. Provide the means to indicate the security status of child zones and (if the child supports secure resolution services) to enable verification of a chain of trust among parent and child domains, when operating as part of a distributed, hierarchical namespace.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 10 controls across 8 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

FedRAMP High · 2 controls

  • SC-20 Secure Name/Address Resolution Service (Authoritative)
  • SC-21 Secure Name/Address Resolution Service (Recursive or Caching Resolver)

FedRAMP Moderate · 2 controls

  • SC-20 Secure Name/Address Resolution Service (Authoritative)
  • SC-21 Secure Name/Address Resolution Service (Recursive or Caching Resolver)

CIS Controls v8 · 1 control

  • CIS-4.9 Configure Trusted DNS Servers on Enterprise Assets

ISO 27001:2022 · 1 control

  • 8.21 Security of network services
  • SC-20 SC-20 Secure Name/Address Resolution Service (Authoritative Source)
  • SC-20 SC-20 Secure Name/Address Resolution Service (Authoritative Source)
  • SC-20 SC-20 Secure Name/Address Resolution Service (Authoritative Source)

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 SC - System and Communications 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-SC-20 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.
