Enhancement of: CM-7
Family: Configuration Management (CM) Framework: NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
Hardware components provide the foundation for organizational systems and the platform for the execution of authorized software programs. Managing the inventory of hardware components and controlling which hardware components are permitted to be installed or connected to organizational systems is essential in order to provide adequate security.
Examine the System Security Plan (SSP) and related artifacts for CM-7(9) implementation details. Verify the organization has documented how this control is satisfied.
# For cloud environments, use cloud-audit-mcp tools
# For on-premises, review system configurations directly
# Example: Check if account management policies exist
grep -r "account.management\|access.control" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
Verify the control is actively functioning, not just documented. Check logs, configurations, and operational evidence.
