Requirements NIST SOURCE

Limit personally identifiable information contained in visitor access records to the following elements identified in the privacy risk assessment: [elements].

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Organizations may have requirements that specify the contents of visitor access records. Limiting personally identifiable information in visitor access records when such information is not needed for operational purposes helps reduce the level of privacy risk created by a system.

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-8(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. elements identified in the privacy risk assessment to limit personally identifiable information contained in visitor access logs are defined;
  2. personally identifiable information contained in visitor access records is limited to <PE-08(03)_ODP elements> identified in the privacy risk assessment.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Physical and environmental protection policy; personally identifiable information processing policy; privacy risk assessment documentation; privacy impact assessment; visitor access records; personally identifiable information inventory; system security plan; privacy plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with visitor access records responsibilities; organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for maintaining and reviewing visitor access records].
