Reporting to Authorized Individuals or Roles
LOW MODERATE HIGHRequirements NIST SOURCE
Verify that the system is configured so that data or information collected by the [sensors] is only reported to authorized individuals or roles.
Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)
In situations where sensors are activated by authorized individuals, it is still possible that the data or information collected by the sensors will be sent to unauthorized entities.
Implementation Guidance

No engineering interpretation has been authored for SC-42(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
Assessment Objectives
- sensors to be used to collect data or information are defined;
- the system is configured so that data or information collected by the <SC-42(01)_ODP sensors> is only reported to authorized individuals or roles.

STIGs & CCIs
No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for SC-42(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.
