Requirements NIST SOURCE

Ensure compliance with [registration requirements].

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Organizations use the registration process to manage, track, and provide oversight for systems and implemented functions, ports, protocols, and services.

Implementation Guidance

Engineering Interpretation

Original engineering commentary written for this explorer — not NIST source text and not authoritative guidance.

No engineering interpretation has been authored for CM-7(3) yet. This section is architected to receive it — see the Requirements and Assessment sections above for the authoritative NIST source content in the meantime.

Assessment

NIST SP 800-53A REV 5.2.0

Assessment Objectives

  1. registration requirements for functions, ports, protocols, and services are defined;
  2. <CM-07(03)_ODP registration requirements> are complied with.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: System security plan; configuration management policy; procedures addressing least functionality in the system; configuration management plan; system configuration settings and associated documentation; system component inventory; audit and compliance reviews; system audit records; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with security responsibilities; system/network administrators; system developers].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Organizational processes ensuring compliance with registration requirements for functions, ports, protocols, and/or services; mechanisms implementing compliance with registration requirements for functions, ports, protocols, and/or services].

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for CM-7(3). This section is architected to display, per product: STIG ID, Finding ID, Severity, Title, Description, Check, Fix, CCI, and NIST control mapping — but nothing is populated here until a real DISA STIG/CCI dataset is ingested.
