Engineering Interpretation

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

No engineering interpretation has been authored for PS-3(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. information types that are processed, stored, or transmitted by a system that require individuals accessing the system to meet <PS-03(04)_ODP[02] citizenship requirements> are defined;
  2. citizenship requirements to be met by individuals to access a system processing, storing, or transmitting information are defined;
  3. individuals accessing a system processing, storing, or transmitting <PS-03(04)_ODP[01] information types> meet <PS-03(04)_ODP[02] citizenship requirements>.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Personnel security policy; access control policy, procedures addressing personnel screening; records of screened personnel; screening criteria; records of access authorizations; system security plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with personnel security responsibilities; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for ensuring valid access authorizations for information requiring citizenship; organizational process for additional personnel screening for information requiring citizenship].

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)

MODERATE

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)

HIGH

  • Base control: Included (matches standard baseline)

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for PS-3(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.
