ARTIFACTS
MP: MEDIA PROTECTION
What's On This Page
Each control family has a page dedicated to presenting all of the artifacts associated with the controls and control enhancements in that family. This is a consolidated view of the artifacts organized in a way to make the information usable. From here you can navigate to the individual control pages where the artifacts associated with each control or control enhancement are displayed with the control. You can use the Links Panels to select the individual controls or control enhancements you want to work with.
Supplement the artifacts here with other relevent documents and records dictated by your risk-based cybersecurity program and your information supply chain requirements.
The Source of the Artifacts
The control information comes from NIST Special Publication 800-53R4, Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizationsand Special Publication and NIST Special Publication 800-53AR4, Assessing Security and Privacy Controls in Federal Information Systems and Organizations Building Effective Assessment Plans. We've normalized the artifact names and annotated them with information useful in understanding these artifacts in the context of your digital enterprise, information supply chain, and security architecture.
Essential Artifacts for Risk-Based Cybersecurity Programs
This section includes core documents for risk-based cybersecurity; the POLICY & PROCEDURES document for Media Protection (MP); and documents that are widely used in the assessment of controls and control enhancements in the Media Protection (MP) family. Policy and Procedure documents from control families are in CAPS and identified with their two letter code.
