5.3. Data/Media Protection<br />

The following are the Non-Mandatory Procedures that support the Data/Media<br />

Protection section <strong>of</strong> the Default Security Requirements:<br />

5.3.1. Securely Handle Data and Media<br />

Agencies should protect data while it is in system, both in storage and use, as<br />

well as out <strong>of</strong> system in media, in both storage and transit:<br />

5.3.1.1 Configure Transmissions for Confidentiality and Integrity<br />

Ensure both the integrity and confidentiality <strong>of</strong> electronic data<br />

transmissions through the use <strong>of</strong> cryptography. Cryptographic<br />

solutions must meet established standards.<br />

5.3.1.2 Validate Data Inputs<br />

Integrity <strong>of</strong> data stored by the information system is to be ensured<br />

through the use <strong>of</strong> controls on data input:<br />

• Configure systems to restrict and manage data input.<br />

5.3.1.3 Restrict Access to Media<br />

Media, in all forms, is on <strong>of</strong>fline storage mechanism for data and, as<br />

such, must be protected in a manner equivalent to the data that it<br />

stores:<br />

• Where possible, protect media output devices from<br />

inappropriate access by placing them in secure locations:<br />

• Control access to media output devices placed in secure<br />

locations by requiring identified and authenticated access to<br />

those locations.<br />

• Where media output devices cannot be placed in secure<br />

locations, configure those devices to output media only when<br />

attended.<br />

• Disable local media output devices that cannot be configured<br />

to only output media when attended.<br />

5.3.1.4 Ensure Media is Securely Stored<br />

Protect any outputted media from inappropriate access by storing it<br />

securely at all times:<br />

• Place all media in locked cabinets and place those cabinets in<br />

controlled access locations.<br />

• Maintain a media access log.<br />

5.3.1.5 Ensure Media is Securely Transported<br />

Protect during transportation data that has been output to media by<br />

tracking and controlling access to that media at all times:<br />

• Before allowing media to be transported, verify that a copy <strong>of</strong><br />

the data stored on the media exists elsewhere.<br />
