NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-SI-6: SI-6 Security and Privacy Function Verification

a. Verify the correct operation of [Assignment: organization-defined security and privacy functions]; b. Perform the verification of the functions specified in SI-06a [Selection (one or more): [Assignment: organization-defined system transitional states]; upon command by user with appropriate privilege; [Assignment: organization-defined frequency]]; c. Alert [Assignment: organization-defined personnel or roles] to failed security and privacy verification tests; and d. [Selection (one or more): Shut the system down; Restart the system; [Assignment: organization-defined alternative action(s)]] when anomalies are discovered.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 36 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.

Other controls in SI - System and Information Integrity

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-SI-6 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.
