What an assessor checks

NIST SP 800-171A breaks 3.13.13 into 2 objectives. Every one has to be met for the requirement to be met; a partial answer scores as not implemented.

Examine: [SELECT FROM: System and communications protection policy; procedures addressing mobile code; mobile code usage restrictions, mobile code implementation policy and procedures; security plan; list of acceptable mobile code and mobile code technologies; list of unacceptable mobile code and mobile technologies; authorization records; system monitoring records; system audit logs and records; other relevant documents or records].
Interview: [SELECT FROM: System or network administrators; personnel with information security responsibilities; personnel with responsibilities for managing mobile code].
Test: [SELECT FROM: Organizational process for controlling, authorizing, monitoring, and restricting mobile code; mechanisms supporting or implementing the management of mobile code; mechanisms supporting or implementing the monitoring of mobile code].

May be carried on a Level 2 POA&M · 1 point deducted

A 1-point requirement outside the six named exclusions - eligible to carry, and NOT MET until a closeout assessment confirms it.

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.
