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-4(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. terminated individuals are notified of applicable, legally binding post-employment requirements for the protection of organizational information;
  2. terminated individuals are required to sign an acknowledgement of post-employment requirements as part of the organizational termination process.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Personnel security policy; procedures addressing personnel termination; signed post-employment acknowledgement forms; list of applicable, legally binding post-employment requirements; 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 post-employment requirements].

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for PS-4(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.
