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.
Documenting information locations and authorized users enables better protection against unauthorized exposure of sensitive data.
Requiring equivalent controls at the alternate storage site prevents unauthorized exposure of sensitive backup data.
Protecting confidentiality of backup information prevents unauthorized exposure of sensitive data stored in backups.
Policies mandate protection of CUI on external systems, directly reducing unauthorized exposure of sensitive information.
Categorization identifies sensitive data so that confidentiality protections commensurate with impact level are selected and documented.
Encrypting or otherwise protecting data at rest directly prevents unauthorized actors from reading sensitive information stored on disk or other media.
Fragmentation across systems ensures that exposure from any single component yields only incomplete information, directly reducing the impact of unauthorized disclosure.
OPSEC controls directly protect supply chain information from unauthorized observation or disclosure.
