Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity good match

SC-8 directly requires protecting confidentiality of transmitted information, which structurally eliminates cleartext transmission of sensitive data.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

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.DS-02 full match
prevents

Encryption of data-in-transit directly prevents cleartext transmission while the control also addresses integrity and availability.

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.

A.8.21 Security of network services mostly match
prevents

Specifying encryption and other security technology for network services prevents transmission of sensitive information in cleartext over potentially untrusted channels.

A.5.14 Information transfer partial match
prevents

Mandating cryptographic protection and stronger authentication on public networks stops the transmission of plaintext sensitive information.

A.6.7 Remote working partial match
mitigates

Specifying communications-security requirements and secure remote-access methods (including encryption expectations) prevents the transmission of sensitive data in cleartext over home or public networks.

A.7.12 Cabling security partial match
mitigates

Armoured conduits, electromagnetic shielding and locked enclosures make passive eavesdropping on unencrypted traffic traversing the cables more difficult, mitigating exposure of sensitive data in transit.
