Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Baseline configuration defines the approved production settings and prevents shipment while still in manufacturing or debug mode.

Establishing and enforcing the most restrictive configuration settings ensures the released product uses hardened production values.

Developer configuration management requires tracking and controlling the transition from manufacturing to release configuration.

Developer testing and evaluation can discover that the delivered build remains in a pre-production configuration.

degrades

Configuration management directly prevents release of non-release builds by enforcing approved, documented configurations.

finds

Security testing and acceptance criteria can detect and block deployment of pre-production builds.

prevents

Change-management procedures ensure only approved, release-ready configurations are deployed.

degrades

Controlling software installation on operational systems reduces the chance that pre-production builds reach production.

prevents

Secure development life-cycle practices include release-gate checks that catch non-release configurations.

mitigates

Separation of development, test and production environments prevents accidental promotion of non-release configurations.
