Compliance Checks
LOW MODERATE HIGHRequirements NIST SOURCE
Perform security and privacy compliance checks on constituent system components prior to the establishment of the internal connection.
Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)
Compliance checks include verification of the relevant baseline configuration.
Implementation Guidance

Assessment
Assessment Objectives
- security compliance checks are performed on constituent system components prior to the establishment of the internal connection;
- privacy compliance checks are performed on constituent system components prior to the establishment of the internal connection.
