CM-05 Access Restrictions for Change
Configuration Management
Low Moderate High
Description
Define, document, approve, and enforce physical and logical access restrictions associated with changes to the system.
Supplemental Guidance
Changes to the hardware, software, or firmware components of systems or the operational procedures related to the system can potentially have significant effects on the security of the systems or individuals’ privacy. Therefore, organizations permit only qualified and authorized individuals to access systems for purposes of initiating changes. Access restrictions include physical and logical access controls (see AC-03 and PE-03), software libraries, workflow automation, media libraries, abstract layers (i.e., changes implemented into external interfaces rather than directly into systems), and change windows (i.e., changes occur only during specified times).
Enhancements (4)
What NIST adds to this control. Select one to read its statement.
CM-05(01) Automated Access Enforcement and Audit Records High
a. Enforce access restrictions using [Assignment: organization-defined automated mechanisms]; and b. Automatically generate audit records of the enforcement actions.
CM-05(04) Dual Authorization
Enforce dual authorization for implementing changes to [Assignment: organization-defined system components and system-level information].
CM-05(05) Privilege Limitation for Production and Operation
a. Limit privileges to change system components and system-related information within a production or operational environment; and b. Review and reevaluate privileges [Assignment: organization-defined frequency].
CM-05(06) Limit Library Privileges
Limit privileges to change software resident within software libraries.
