Requirements NIST SOURCE

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Sources of counterfeit components include manufacturers, developers, vendors, and contractors. Anti-counterfeiting policies and procedures support tamper resistance and provide a level of protection against the introduction of malicious code. External reporting organizations include CISA.

Enhancements NIST SOURCE

SR-11(1) Anti-counterfeit Training ✓ LOW ✓ MODERATE ✓ HIGH

SR-11(2) Configuration Control for Component Service and Repair ✓ LOW ✓ MODERATE ✓ HIGH

Maintain configuration control over the following system components awaiting service or repair and serviced or repaired components awaiting return to service: [system components].

Discussion

None.

SR-11(3) Anti-counterfeit Scanning LOW MODERATE HIGH

Scan for counterfeit system components [frequency].

Discussion

The type of component determines the type of scanning to be conducted (e.g., web application scanning if the component is a web application).

No engineering interpretation has been authored for SR-11 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. one or more of the following PARAMETER VALUES is/are selected: {source of counterfeit component; <SR-11_ODP[02] external reporting organizations>; <SR-11_ODP[03] personnel or roles>};
  2. external reporting organizations to whom counterfeit system components are to be reported is/are defined (if selected);
  3. personnel or roles to whom counterfeit system components are to be reported is/are defined (if selected);
  4. an anti-counterfeit policy is developed and implemented;
  5. anti-counterfeit procedures are developed and implemented;
  6. the anti-counterfeit procedures include the means to detect counterfeit components entering the system;
  7. the anti-counterfeit procedures include the means to prevent counterfeit components from entering the system;
  8. counterfeit system components are reported to <SR-11_ODP[01] SELECTED PARAMETER VALUES>.

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for SR-11. 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.
