Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

IA-3 Device Identification and Authentication good match

Requires unique identification and authentication of devices before establishing a communications session.

SC-28 Protection of Information at Rest good match

Protection of information at rest requires encryption or equivalent safeguards for stored credentials.

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity good match

Transmission confidentiality and integrity enforcement stops credentials from being sent in plaintext or without protection.

SC-23 Session Authenticity good match

Enforces authenticity of communication sessions so the system only exchanges data with verified intended endpoints.

IA-5 Authenticator Management partial match

Authenticator management requires secure generation, storage, and distribution of credentials, directly stopping insecure methods.

PR.DS-01 full match
prevents

Encrypting data-at-rest fully prevents insecure credential storage while only partially satisfying the broader data-protection outcome.

PR.DS-02 full match
prevents

Encrypting data-in-transit fully prevents interception of credentials in motion while only partially satisfying the broader data-protection outcome.

PR.IR-01 full match
prevents

Network segmentation and access controls directly enforce communication only with intended endpoints.

PR.AA-01 mostly match
prevents

Credential management practices directly reduce insecure storage/transmission but do not guarantee encryption or transport protection.

PR.AA-03 mostly match
prevents

Authenticating services/hardware directly prevents communication with unintended endpoints.

PR.AA-04 mostly match
prevents

Protecting identity assertions covers conveyance of credentials but is narrower than full credential lifecycle protection.

A.5.17 Authentication information mostly match
prevents

Requiring protected storage, transmission, and non-display of passwords prevents credentials from being stored or sent in clear text where they can be harvested by unauthorized actors.

A.8.24 Use of cryptography mostly match
prevents

Protecting secret and private keys against disclosure and unauthorized use decreases the exposure of credentials that are stored or transmitted in recoverable form.

A.8.5 Secure authentication mostly match
prevents

Forbidding clear-text transmission and display of passwords, plus the use of stronger alternatives to passwords, prevents credentials from being obtained or reused by attackers.

A.5.10 Acceptable use of information and other associated assets partial match
prevents

Acceptable-use expectations that cover protection of credentials and information assets throughout their lifecycle discourage practices that expose or mishandle authentication material.

A.6.2 Terms and conditions of employment partial match
prevents

Contractual clauses that survive termination help ensure that credentials and other secrets are not retained or misused after employment ends.

A.6.3 Information security awareness, education and training partial match
prevents

Regular reminders about password security and personal accountability make users less likely to store or transmit credentials in cleartext or other unprotected forms.
