Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

CM-6 Configuration Settings good match

Secure configuration settings establish baselines that prohibit default credentials on system components.

IA-5 Authenticator Management good match

Authenticator management requires verification of identity and secure distribution of initial authenticators, directly stopping default credentials from being left in place.

RA-5 Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning good match

Vulnerability scanning can discover default credentials after deployment but does not stop their introduction.

AC-2 Account Management partial match

Account management processes include assignment and control of initial account credentials, reducing the chance defaults remain active.

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.PS-01 full match
prevents

Hardened baselines and configuration management explicitly prohibit default credentials on deployed systems.

PR.AA-01 mostly match
prevents

Credential management processes directly require replacing or disabling default passwords and keys.

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

Authentication policies can enforce non-default credential strength but do not explicitly address initial deployment defaults.

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.8.9 Configuration management mostly match
prevents

The requirement to replace vendor default authentication information immediately after installation directly counters the use of default credentials that attackers commonly target.
