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.

addresses: CWE-653

Defines isolation boundaries by specifying which external systems may access or process organization data.

addresses: CWE-653

Maintains isolation and compartmentalization by restricting flows between security domains or levels.

addresses: CWE-653

Reviewing the continued need for connections supports isolation and compartmentalization.

addresses: CWE-653

Locating systems away from hazards improves isolation and compartmentalization from external physical or environmental threats.

addresses: CWE-653

The CONOPS must articulate isolation and compartmentalization expectations for security and privacy, making architectural failures in separation of duties or domains harder to overlook.

addresses: CWE-653

Security architectures commonly incorporate isolation and compartmentalization strategies to limit the impact of compromises.

addresses: CWE-653

Organization-wide privacy program leadership ensures proper isolation and compartmentalization of personal data.

addresses: CWE-653

Oversight ensures data-matching activities maintain required isolation between distinct data sets and authorized user communities.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Least-privilege policy directly enforces separation of privilege levels and access rights.

PR.IR-01 mostly match
prevents

Network and environment segmentation implements the isolation required to prevent unauthorized cross-compartment access.

degrades

Segregation of duties directly enforces separation of privilege levels and functions.

prevents

Network segregation is a classic technical control for isolating different privilege domains.

prevents

Secure system architecture principles explicitly call for isolation and least-privilege boundaries.

prevents

Separation of development, test and production environments is a direct application of compartmentalization.

degrades

Access control policies establish the boundaries that isolation must enforce.

degrades

Managing access rights is the operational mechanism for compartmentalizing privileges.
