Likely Mitigating Controls AI

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.

addresses: CWE-311 CWE-312

Privacy and security training stresses encryption of sensitive data, reducing missing encryption weaknesses.

addresses: CWE-311 CWE-312

The map highlights data actions that involve sensitive data, enabling identification of missing encryption requirements.

addresses: CWE-311 CWE-312

Settings can require encryption of sensitive data, preventing missing encryption weaknesses.

addresses: CWE-311

Exchange agreements must document security requirements, which would include encryption to protect sensitive data in transit.

addresses: CWE-312

Policy requires protection measures such as encryption for sensitive data stored on media, preventing cleartext exposure.

addresses: CWE-311

Architectures must describe confidentiality protections, which includes mandating encryption for sensitive data in transit and at rest.

addresses: CWE-311

Privacy and security curricula stress encryption requirements, reducing missing encryption of sensitive data.

addresses: CWE-311

Requires encryption and similar controls for CUI processed or stored externally, preventing missing encryption of sensitive data.

PR.DS-01 full match
prevents

Encryption and cryptographic controls for data-at-rest directly prevent cleartext storage of sensitive information.

PR.DS-02 partial match
prevents

PR.DS-02 directly eliminates the transmission facet of CWE-311 via mandatory encryption but leaves the storage facet untouched, so each direction rates only partial.

prevents

Explicit rules requiring encryption for sensitive information in transit eliminate the weakness of sending data without cryptographic protection.

mitigates

Requiring non-standard deletion or physical destruction of media ensures that sensitive information is not left in cleartext on discarded or repurposed equipment.

mitigates

Secure deletion of data before device transfer prevents residual sensitive information from remaining in cleartext on storage media that leave organizational control.

mitigates

Secure deletion of obsolete or temporary copies prevents sensitive data from remaining in cleartext on disk after its intended lifetime.

A.8.11 Data masking partial match
mitigates

Substituting real values with hashes or encrypted tokens before storage reduces the quantity of cleartext sensitive information that ends up persisted on disk.

finds

When clear-text sensitive data is detected leaving controlled storage, the control can block the transfer, thereby limiting the exposure that would result from unencrypted storage on external media or cloud services.
