Case: FIPS 200 is a federal standard that specifies minimum security requirements for information and information systems supporting executive agencies. It is part of a risk management framework that requires agencies to assess the security risks and categorize the systems using FIPS 199. FIPS 200 also provides a risk-based process for selecting security controls from several categories, such as access control, audit and accountability, certification, accreditation, and security assessments.
One of the control families described in FIPS 200 is Access Control. A security policy addressing this control family would define the rules and requirements for accessing information and information systems. The policy would include the following components:
Purpose: The purpose of the policy is to establish the rules for accessing information and information systems.
Scope: The policy applies to all users of information and information systems, including employees, contractors, and third-party service providers.
Roles and Responsibilities: The policy defines the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders, such as system owners, system administrators, and users.
Access Control Requirements: The policy specifies the requirements for accessing information and information systems, such as authentication, authorization, and access control mechanisms.
Enforcement: The policy defines the consequences of non-compliance with the access control requirements.
The primary components of the security policy with respect to the security requirements described within the Access Control family would include defining who is authorized to access which resources under what conditions. This would involve specifying authentication methods, authorization processes, and access control mechanisms. Additionally, the policy would outline procedures for granting, revoking, and reviewing access privileges. It would also specify how access control violations are detected, reported, and addressed.
