Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Controlled unclassified information is defined by the National Archives and Records Administration along with the safeguarding and dissemination requirements for such information and is codified in 32 CFR 2002 and, specifically for systems external to the federal organization, 32 CFR 2002.14h . The policy prescribes the specific use and conditions to be implemented in accordance with organizational procedures, including via its contracting processes.

Engineering Interpretation

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

No engineering interpretation has been authored for PM-17 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 at which to review and update the policy is defined;
  2. the frequency at which to review and update the procedures is defined;
  3. policy is established to ensure that requirements for the protection of controlled unclassified information that is processed, stored, or transmitted on external systems are implemented in accordance with applicable laws, executive orders, directives, policies, regulations, and standards;
  4. procedures are established to ensure that requirements for the protection of controlled unclassified information that is processed, stored, or transmitted on external systems are implemented in accordance with applicable laws, executive orders, directives, policies, regulations, and standards;
  5. policy is reviewed and updated <PM-17_ODP[01] frequency>;
  6. procedures are reviewed and updated <PM-17_ODP[02] frequency>

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for PM-17. 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.
