PL-8 Security and privacy architectures

FedRAMP Moderate · Rev 5

a. Develop security and privacy architectures for the system that: 1. Describe the requirements and approach to be taken for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of organizational information; 2. Describe the requirements and approach to be taken for processing personally identifiable information to minimize privacy risk to individuals; 3. Describe how the architectures are integrated into and support the enterprise architecture; and 4. Describe any assumptions about, and dependencies on, external systems and services; b. Review and update the architectures [frequency] to reflect changes in the enterprise architecture; and c. Reflect planned architecture changes in security and privacy plans, Concept of Operations (CONOPS), criticality analysis, organizational procedures, and procurements and acquisitions.

Quoted verbatim from NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 (OSCAL catalog), which is in the public domain.

No cross-framework mapping is seeded for this control. That is stated rather than filled in: a mapping nobody authored is worse than a gap you can see.

In CMDash this control is a row with an owner, a status, uploaded evidence kept with its full history, and an export an assessor can read.
