Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Monitoring directly detects unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, enabling response to exposures.
Coordinating audit logging across organizational boundaries reduces the risk of sensitive audit data being exposed to unauthorized actors during transmission.
A data action map identifies locations where sensitive information may be exposed to unauthorized actors during processing or transfer.
The control's identification, isolation, alerting, and eradication steps directly limit the impact and exploitation window of unauthorized sensitive information exposure.
Requiring organization-defined processing conditions on specific PII categories directly reduces the chance that personal data will be exposed to unauthorized actors.
The assessment process surfaces design decisions that could expose sensitive (including PII) data to unauthorized actors, prompting controls that reduce such exposure.
Directly prevents exposure of critical organizational information by applying OPSEC processes across the SDLC.
Filtering output to only permitted content stops unintended disclosure of sensitive information to unauthorized actors.
