Requirements NIST SOURCE

Track incidents and collect and analyze incident information using [organization-defined automated mechanisms].

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Automated mechanisms for tracking incidents and collecting and analyzing incident information include Computer Incident Response Centers or other electronic databases of incidents and network monitoring devices.

Engineering Interpretation

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

No engineering interpretation has been authored for IR-5(1) 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. automated mechanisms used to track incidents are defined;
  2. automated mechanisms used to collect incident information are defined;
  3. automated mechanisms used to analyze incident information are defined;
  4. incidents are tracked using <IR-05(01)_ODP[01] automated mechanisms>;
  5. incident information is collected using <IR-05(01)_ODP[02] automated mechanisms>;
  6. incident information is analyzed using <IR-05(01)_ODP[03] automated mechanisms>.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Incident response policy; procedures addressing incident monitoring; incident response records and documentation; system security plan; incident response plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with incident monitoring responsibilities; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Incident monitoring capability for the organization; automated mechanisms supporting and/or implementing the tracking and documenting of system security incidents].

Overlays

OT/ICS Overlay SP 800-82r3

NIST SP 800-82r3 Appendix F, Table 22. Blank baseline means the control/control enhancement is not selected in that initial OT baseline.

LOW

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)

MODERATE

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)

HIGH

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for IR-5(1). 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.
