Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly filters sensitive information from organizational output before transmission, preventing the exact exposure of embedded data described in CVE-2025-49408.

prevent

Enforces information flow policies to block unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data in responses sent by the Templately plugin.

prevent

Requires confidentiality protection for transmitted data, mitigating retrieval of any sensitive information that is inadvertently sent.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent insertion of sensitive data into application outputs and messages.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Monitoring runtime data flows and outputs can detect sensitive data being transmitted.

PR.DS-02 partial match
prevents

Protecting data-in-transit can include filtering or encrypting to avoid exposing sensitive content.

PR.DS-10 partial match
prevents

Protecting data-in-use includes removing confidential values before they are processed or sent.

prevents

Data-masking techniques can prevent sensitive values from appearing in transmitted payloads.

mitigates

Classification identifies sensitive data so it is not inadvertently transmitted.

mitigates

Labelling makes sensitive data visible to developers and prevents accidental inclusion in outbound messages.

mitigates

Information-transfer rules directly govern what data may be sent to external parties.

mitigates

PII-protection requirements reduce the chance of sending personal data to unauthorized recipients.

mitigates

DLP controls inspect and block outbound flows that contain sensitive information.
