PM-3 Information Security and Privacy Resources

High-Level Description

Family: Program Management (PM) Framework: NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5

Organizations consider establishing champions for information security and privacy and, as part of including the necessary resources, assign specialized expertise and resources as needed. Organizations may designate and empower an Investment Review Board or similar group to manage and provide oversight for the information security and privacy aspects of the capital planning and investment control process.

What to Check

  • Verify PM-3 Information Security and Privacy Resources is documented in SSP
  • Validate all 3 control requirements are implemented
  • Confirm control is operating effectively
  • Review evidence of continuous monitoring for PM-3

How to Test

Step 1: Review Documentation

Examine the System Security Plan (SSP) and related artifacts for PM-3 implementation details. Verify the organization has documented how this control is satisfied.

Step 2: Validate Implementation

# For cloud environments, use cloud-audit-mcp tools
# For on-premises, review system configurations directly

# Example: Check if account management policies exist
grep -r "account.management\|access.control" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null

Step 3: Test Operating Effectiveness

Verify the control is actively functioning, not just documented. Check logs, configurations, and operational evidence.
