Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Access enforcement directly stops resources from being reachable by actors outside the intended control sphere.

Information flow enforcement structurally prevents unintended cross-sphere data or resource exposure.

Least privilege reduces the set of actors that can reach a resource, limiting wrong-sphere exposure.

Security attributes enable correct sphere assignment and subsequent enforcement decisions.

Boundary protection at interfaces prevents resources from being exposed outside authorized spheres.

Enforcing least-privilege authorizations directly prevents resources from being exposed outside their intended control sphere.

Configuration baselines and enforcement directly require proper Cache-Control and related headers.

Secure SDLC practices include defining and verifying appropriate web caching policies for sensitive content.

Network segmentation and unauthorized-access protections reduce the chance of resources being reachable by the wrong sphere.

degrades

Endpoint device configuration can enforce cache-clearing or no-cache policies for sensitive web content.

mitigates

Placing systems of differing trust levels into separate domains prevents resources from being placed in a sphere where they are reachable by unintended actors.

prevents

Application security requirements can explicitly require no-cache headers or cache-control directives for sensitive pages.

prevents

Secure coding standards can mandate proper cache-control headers and form-field handling to prevent sensitive data retention.

prevents

Configuration management can mandate secure browser cache settings across the estate.
