Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Enforces per-object authorizations so that even if a file or directory is reachable, the sensitive contents remain inaccessible to unauthorized actors.

Associates sensitivity labels with data objects so that subsequent storage or flow decisions can enforce that only appropriately protected files or directories receive the data.

Controls information flows between objects, directly stopping sensitive data from being written into locations whose ACLs or visibility would expose it.

Requires confidentiality protection of information at rest, which can be implemented by restricting storage locations or encrypting contents that would otherwise be placed in externally visible files.

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.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Least-privilege file and directory permissions directly prevent unauthorized actors from reading sensitive data placed in accessible locations.

PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

Protecting data-at-rest encompasses file-level access controls and encryption that stop exposure of sensitive information in externally reachable paths.

PR.PS-01 partial match
prevents

Hardened configuration baselines and ongoing config management reduce the chance that sensitive data is written to world-readable files or directories.

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.

prevents

By ensuring that only the minimum necessary data is present in files or directories that may be reachable by external parties, the control lowers the impact of any subsequent exposure.

mitigates

Requiring visible or metadata labels on classified information helps ensure that files placed in externally accessible locations still carry an explicit sensitivity marker, lowering the likelihood of unnoticed exposure.

mitigates

The control’s requirement to remove or securely destroy information stored in externally accessible locations reduces the risk of sensitive data being left in files or directories that external parties can reach.

none

Logging disposals, selecting vetted external disposal services, and protecting media according to classification reduce the likelihood that sensitive information ends up in externally accessible files or directories.

prevents

Verifying and sanitizing equipment prior to disposal or resale prevents sensitive files or directories from remaining accessible to external parties who later obtain the hardware.
