What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 78 controls across 26 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • NIST-CSF-DE.CM-09 Computing hardware and software, runtime environments, and their data are monitored to find potentially adverse events
  • NIST-CSF-PR.DS-01 The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data-at-rest are protected
  • NIST-CSF-PR.DS-02 The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data-in-transit are protected
  • NIST-CSF-PR.PS-05 Installation and execution of unauthorized software are prevented
  • NIST-CSF-RC.RP-03 The integrity of backups and other restoration assets is verified before using them for restoration
  • NIST-CSF-RC.RP-05 The integrity of restored assets is verified, systems and services are restored, and normal operating status is confirmed
  • NIST-CSF-RS.AN-07 Incident data and metadata are collected, and their integrity and provenance are preserved

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-7 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.
