SA-10(5) Mapping Integrity for Version Control
Enhancement of: SA-10
High-Level Description
Family: System and Services Acquisition (SA) Framework: NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
Mapping integrity for version control addresses changes to hardware, software, and firmware components during both initial development and system development life cycle updates. Maintaining the integrity between the master copies of security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware (including designs, hardware drawings, source code) and the equivalent data in master copies in operational environments is essential to ensuring the availability of organizational systems that support critical mission and business functions.
What to Check
- Verify SA-10(5) Mapping Integrity for Version Control is documented in SSP
- Confirm control is operating effectively
- Review evidence of continuous monitoring for SA-10(5)
- Verify enhancement builds upon base control SA-10
How to Test
Step 1: Review Documentation
Examine the System Security Plan (SSP) and related artifacts for SA-10(5) 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.

Remediation Guide
Control Statement
Require the developer of the system, system component, or system service to maintain the integrity of the mapping between the master build data describing the current version of security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware and the on-site master copy of the data for the current version.
Implementation Guidance
Mapping integrity for version control addresses changes to hardware, software, and firmware components during both initial development and system development life cycle updates. Maintaining the integrity between the master copies of security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware (including designs, hardware drawings, source code) and the equivalent data in master copies in operational environments is essential to ensuring the availability of organizational systems that support critical mission and business functions.
