Ensure Delivery and Transmission
LOW MODERATE HIGHRequirements NIST SOURCE
Employ [controls] to ensure that only [individuals or systems] receive the following information, system components, or devices: [information, system components, or devices].
Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)
Techniques employed by organizations to ensure that only designated systems or individuals receive certain information, system components, or devices include sending authenticators via an approved courier service but requiring recipients to show some form of government-issued photographic identification as a condition of receipt.
Implementation Guidance

Assessment
Assessment Objectives
- controls to be employed to ensure that only designated individuals or systems receive specific information, system components, or devices are defined;
- individuals or systems designated to receive specific information, system components, or devices are defined;
- information, system components, or devices that only individuals or systems are designated to receive are defined;
- <SC-37(01)_ODP[01] controls> are employed to ensure that only <SC-37(01)_ODP[02] individuals or systems> receive <SC-37(01)_ODP[03] information, system components, or devices>.

STIGs & CCIs
No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for SC-37(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.
