Requirements NIST SOURCE

Ensure that the facility undergoes [frequency] fire protection inspections by authorized and qualified inspectors and identified deficiencies are resolved within [time period].

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Authorized and qualified personnel within the jurisdiction of the organization include state, county, and city fire inspectors and fire marshals. Organizations provide escorts during inspections in situations where the systems that reside within the facilities contain sensitive information.

Engineering Interpretation

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

No engineering interpretation has been authored for PE-13(4) 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. the frequency for conducting fire protection inspections on the facility is defined;
  2. a time period for resolving deficiencies identified by fire protection inspections is defined;
  3. the facility undergoes fire protection inspections <PE-13(04)_ODP[01] frequency> by authorized and qualified inspectors;
  4. the identified deficiencies from fire protection inspections are resolved within <PE-13(04)_ODP[02] time period>.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Physical and environmental protection policy; procedures addressing fire protection; facility housing the system; inspection plans; inspection results; inspect reports; test records of fire suppression and detection devices/systems; system security plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with responsibilities for planning, approving, and executing fire inspections; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities].

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for PE-13(4). 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.
