Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces approved authorizations on logical access, which can include origin checks before accepting WebSocket connections.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement good match

Enforces information flow policies that can require validation of communication origins at system boundaries.

SC-23 Session Authenticity good match

Protects authenticity of communications sessions, which origin validation helps ensure for WebSocket handshakes.

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match

Monitors and controls communications at external interfaces, directly supporting origin validation for inbound WebSocket traffic.
