Requirements NIST SOURCE

Employ centrally managed integrity verification tools.

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Centrally managed integrity verification tools provides greater consistency in the application of such tools and can facilitate more comprehensive coverage of integrity verification actions.

Engineering Interpretation

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

No engineering interpretation has been authored for SI-7(3) 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. centrally managed integrity verification tools are employed.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: System and information integrity policy; system and information integrity procedures; procedures addressing software, firmware, and information integrity; system design documentation; system configuration settings and associated documentation; integrity verification tools and associated documentation; records of integrity scans; system security plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel responsible for the central management of integrity verification tools; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Mechanisms supporting and/or implementing the central management of integrity verification tools].

Overlays

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for SI-7(3). 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.
