Use the FedRAMP Control Membership information above to determine if a control or control enhancement is required for each Impact Baseline — LOW, MODERATE, or HIGH
Click on the panel below each control or control enhancement to review the FedRAMP Impact Baseline-specific control configuration requirements for each of the [BRACKETS] in each control and/or control enhancement.
Review and use Additional Requirements and Guidance to build FedRAMP-compliant controls for your risk-based cybersecurity program.
To change the baseline view in the panel, click on LOW, MODERATE, or HIGH when the panel is open
Panels only appear where there are [BRACKETS] in the control or enhancement or where there is FedRAMP-specific requirements or guidance available.
The information system implements [Assignment: organization-defined security safeguards] to protect its memory from unauthorized code execution.
Click Low | Moderate | High below to see FedRAMP control configuration information. It's in BOLD.
There are no FedRAMP-specific requirements if this control is used for a LOW Impact system.
There are no FedRAMP-specific requirements if this control is used for a MODERATE Impact system.
There are no FedRAMP-specific requirements if this control is used for a HIGH Impact system.
SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE
Some adversaries launch attacks with the intent of executing code in non-executable regions of memory or in memory locations that are prohibited. Security safeguards employed to protect memory include, for example, data execution prevention and address space layout randomization. Data execution prevention safeguards can either be hardware-enforced or software-enforced with hardware providing the greater strength of mechanism.
