Requirements NIST SOURCE

Detect the presence of water near the system and alert [personnel or roles] using [automated mechanisms].

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Automated mechanisms include notification systems, water detection sensors, and alarms.

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 PE-15(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. personnel or roles to be alerted when the presence of water is detected near the system is/are defined;
  2. automated mechanisms used to detect the presence of water near the system are defined;
  3. the presence of water near the system can be detected automatically;
  4. <PE-15(01)_ODP[01] personnel or roles> is/are alerted using <PE-15(01)_ODP[02] automated mechanisms>.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Physical and environmental protection policy; procedures addressing water damage protection; facility housing the system; automated mechanisms for water shutoff valves; automated mechanisms for detecting the presence of water in the vicinity of the system; alerts/notifications of water detection in system facility; system security plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with responsibilities for system environmental controls; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Automated mechanisms supporting and/or implementing water detection capabilities and alerts for the system].

Overlays

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for PE-15(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.
