Requirements NIST SOURCE

Transfer predictive maintenance data to a maintenance management system using [automated mechanisms].

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

A computerized maintenance management system maintains a database of information about the maintenance operations of organizations and automates the processing of equipment condition data to trigger maintenance planning, execution, and reporting.

Engineering Interpretation

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

No engineering interpretation has been authored for MA-6(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. automated mechanisms used to transfer predictive maintenance data to a maintenance management system are defined;
  2. predictive maintenance data is transferred to a maintenance management system using <MA-06(03)_ODP automated mechanisms>.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Maintenance policy; procedures addressing system maintenance; service provider contracts; service-level agreements; maintenance records; list of system components requiring predictive maintenance; system security plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

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

Test

[SELECT FROM: Automated mechanisms implementing the transfer of predictive maintenance data to a computerized maintenance management system; operations of the computer maintenance management system].

Overlays

Showing the OT/ICS overlay for the parent control MA-6 — see the MA-6(3) entries within each baseline below.

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

Not applicable at this tier.

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 MA-6(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.
