NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Security Control Assessment – The testing and/or evaluation of the management, operational, and technical security controls in an information system to determine the extent to which the controls are implemented correctly, operating as intended, and producing the desired outcome with respect to meeting the security requirements for the system. SOURCE: SP 800-37; SP 800-53; SP 800-53A The testing and/or evaluation of the management, operational, and technical security controls to determine the extent to which the controls are implemented correctly, operating as intended, and producing the desired outcome with respect to meeting the security requirements for the system and/or enterprise. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Security Control Assessor – The individual, group, or organization responsible for conducting a security control assessment. SOURCE: SP 800-37; SP 800-53A Security Control Baseline – The set of minimum security controls defined for a low-impact, moderate-impact, or high-impact information system. SOURCE: SP 800-53; FIPS 200 One of the sets of minimum security controls defined for federal information systems in NIST Special Publication 800-53 and CNSS Instruction 1253. SOURCE: SP 800-53A Security Control Enhancements – Statements of security capability to 1) build in additional, but related, functionality to a basic control; and/or 2) increase the strength of a basic control. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009; SP 800-53A Statements of security capability to: (i) build in additional, but related, functionality to a security control; and/or (ii) increase the strength of the control. SOURCE: SP 800-53; SP 800-18 Security Control Inheritance – A situation in which an information system or application receives protection from security controls (or portions of security controls) that are developed, implemented, assessed, authorized, and monitored by entities other than those responsible for the system or application; entities either internal or external to the organization where the system or application resides. See Common Control. SOURCE: SP 800-37; SP 800-53; SP 800-53A; CNSSI-4009 Pg 170
NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Security Controls – Security Controls Baseline – The management, operational, and technical controls (i.e., safeguards or countermeasures) prescribed for an information system to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and its information. SOURCE: SP 800-53; SP 800-37; SP 800-53A; SP 800-60; FIPS 200; FIPS 199; CNSSI-4009 The set of minimum security controls defined for a low-impact, moderate-impact, or high-impact information system. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Security Domain – A set of subjects, their information objects, and a common security policy. SOURCE: SP 800-27 Security Domain – A collection of entities to which applies a single security policy executed by a single authority. SOURCE: FIPS 188 A domain that implements a security policy and is administered by a single authority. SOURCE: SP 800-37; SP 800-53; CNSSI-4009 Security Engineering – An interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of secure systems. It focuses on defining customer needs, security protection requirements, and required functionality early in the systems development life cycle, documenting requirements, and then proceeding with design, synthesis, and system validation while considering the complete problem. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Security Fault Analysis (SFA) – An assessment, usually performed on information system hardware, to determine the security properties of a device when hardware fault is encountered. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Security Features Users Guide – (SFUG) Guide or manual explaining how the security mechanisms in a specific system work. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Security Filter – A secure subsystem of an information system that enforces security policy on the data passing through it. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Pg 171
