Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

IA-2 Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users) good match

Requires unique identification and authentication of users, structurally blocking bypass of the mechanism.

IA-8 Identification and Authentication (Non-organizational Users) good match

Requires unique identification and authentication of non-organizational users, blocking bypass paths.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Enforces approved authorizations so a bypass weakness cannot be exploited to reach resources.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Identifying and recording vulnerabilities catches the primary weaknesses that allow authentication bypass.

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

Strong authentication mechanisms and policy enforcement directly reduce bypass opportunities arising from implementation flaws.

PR.PS-06 partial match
prevents

Secure development practices throughout the SDLC prevent the primary weaknesses that enable authentication bypass.
