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.
Role-based training covers secure transmission methods, mitigating cleartext transmission of sensitive data.
By requiring documented security controls for information exchanges, the control reduces the risk of cleartext transmission of sensitive data.
Mapping transmission actions in data flows helps prevent cleartext transmission of sensitive information.
Settings can enforce secure transmission protocols to prevent cleartext transmission of sensitive data.
Policy addresses secure transport and handling of media to avoid cleartext transmission of sensitive information.
Enforces safeguards against cleartext transmission of CUI when data leaves organizational boundaries to external systems.
Explicit controls and continuous oversight on external system services prevent cleartext transmission of sensitive information over provider-managed channels.
Key-establishment procedures specify secure distribution channels that preclude cleartext transmission of key material.

Encryption of data-in-transit directly prevents cleartext transmission while the control also addresses integrity and availability.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Specifying encryption and other security technology for network services prevents transmission of sensitive information in cleartext over potentially untrusted channels.
Mandating cryptographic protection and stronger authentication on public networks stops the transmission of plaintext sensitive information.
Specifying communications-security requirements and secure remote-access methods (including encryption expectations) prevents the transmission of sensitive data in cleartext over home or public networks.
Armoured conduits, electromagnetic shielding and locked enclosures make passive eavesdropping on unencrypted traffic traversing the cables more difficult, mitigating exposure of sensitive data in transit.
