Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

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.

IA-5 Authenticator Management partial match

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

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.AA-01 partial match
prevents

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

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

Authentication policies can enforce stronger credential handling yet address only verification, not storage or transit protection.

PR.AA-04 partial match
prevents

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

PR.DS-01 partial match
prevents

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

PR.DS-02 partial match
prevents

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

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.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.5.17 Authentication information partial 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.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.

A.6.6 Confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements partial match
mitigates

By requiring signatories to protect credentials and other authentication material under the same confidentiality terms, the control discourages the mishandling or exposure of credentials that could lead to unauthorized account access.

A.8.1 User end point devices partial match
mitigates

Requiring logical controls such as passwords or PINs on idle devices and the use of remote lockout mechanisms protects credentials and other sensitive material from offline extraction.
