What an assessor checks

NIST SP 800-171A breaks 3.1.19 into 2 objectives. Every one has to be met for the requirement to be met; a partial answer scores as not implemented.

  1. [a]Determine if mobile devices and mobile computing platforms that process, store, or transmit CUI are identified.
  2. [b]Determine if encryption is employed to protect CUI on identified mobile devices and mobile computing platforms.

If it is open: POA&M eligibility

Not POA&M-eligible: above the 1-point ceiling · 3 points deducted

Worth 3 points. No requirement over 1 point may appear on a Level 2 POA&M, so this has to be closed before the assessment.

A POA&M is only permitted at a score of 88 or above, and closes in one 180-day window. Check a full gap list or compute your score.
