Requirements NIST SOURCE

Require two forms of identification from the following forms of identification for visitor access to the facility where the system resides: [list of acceptable forms of identification].

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Acceptable forms of identification include passports, REAL ID-compliant drivers’ licenses, and Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards. For gaining access to facilities using automated mechanisms, organizations may use PIV cards, key cards, PINs, and biometrics.

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-2(2) 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. a list of acceptable forms of identification for visitor access to the facility where the system resides is defined;
  2. two forms of identification are required from <PE-02(02)_ODP list of acceptable forms of identification> for visitor access to the facility where the system resides.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Physical and environmental protection policy; procedures addressing physical access authorizations; list of acceptable forms of identification for visitor access to the facility where the system resides; access authorization forms; access credentials; physical access control logs or records; system security plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with physical access authorization responsibilities; organizational personnel with physical access to the system facility; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for physical access authorizations; mechanisms supporting and/or implementing physical access authorizations].

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)

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for PE-2(2). 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.
