Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Associating and preserving security attributes (including permissions) with objects reduces the chance they are lost or weakened on copy/restore/share.
Enforcing approved authorizations for access directly stops objects from receiving or retaining less-restrictive permissions than intended.
Least-privilege assignments limit the blast radius when permissions are incorrectly relaxed during copy/restore/share operations.

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.
Enforcing least-privilege permission policies and reviews directly prevents incorrect permission propagation on copy/restore/share operations.
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.
Access-control policy defines how permissions must be preserved when objects are copied or shared.
Access-rights provisioning and review processes directly address the risk of overly permissive copied objects.
Privileged-access management includes rules for maintaining correct permissions on copied or restored data.
Information-access-restriction controls enforce least-privilege permissions that must be preserved during copy/restore operations.
Change-management procedures can require verification that permissions remain intact after modifications or restores.
Configuration baselines can embed permission settings, indirectly reducing the chance of incorrect preservation.
