What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 14 controls across 7 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

ISO 27001:2022 · 4 controls

  • 5.3 Segregation of duties
  • 8.22 Segregation of networks
  • 8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles
  • 8.31 Separation of development, test and production environments

SOC 2 · 4 controls

  • SOC2-CC5.2 CC5.2 General controls over technology (COSO principle 11)
  • SOC2-CC6.1 CC6.1 Logical access security over protected information assets
  • SOC2-CC6.3 CC6.3 Role-based access, least privilege and segregation of duties
  • SOC2-CC6.7 CC6.7 Restricting and protecting information in transmission, movement and removal

CIS Controls v8 · 2 controls

  • CIS-16.8 Separate Production and Non-Production Systems
  • CIS-4.12 Separate Enterprise Workspaces on Mobile End-User Devices

FedRAMP High · 1 control

  • AC-4(21) Physical or Logical Separation of Information Flows

FedRAMP Moderate · 1 control

  • AC-4(21) Physical or Logical Separation of Information Flows

ISO 27002:2022 · 1 control

  • 8.31 Separation of development, test and production environments

PCI DSS 4.0 · 1 control

  • 6.5.3 6.5.3 Separate pre-production from production

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-50 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.
