Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

CP-10 System Recovery and Reconstitution partial match

Mandates recovery and reconstitution of the system to a known state, which structurally prevents unverified configuration state after power operations.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-01 mostly match
prevents

Configuration management practices directly require preserving verified hardware state across power transitions.

RC.RP-05 mostly match
prevents

Verifying integrity of restored assets explicitly covers hardware configuration state after power or other restore operations.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Hardware monitoring can detect resulting anomalies but does not prevent or ensure integrity during the power operation itself.

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.

A.8.32 Change management partial match
prevents

Change management processes can detect and prevent unauthorized or corrupted configuration changes during power save/restore.

A.8.9 Configuration management partial match
prevents

Configuration management directly requires preserving and verifying hardware configuration state across power events.

A.8.14 Redundancy of information processing facilities none match
none

Redundancy of processing facilities may mitigate impact but does not address integrity verification of configuration state.

A.8.15 Logging none match
detects

Logging can record power events but does not ensure or verify configuration integrity.
