System and Component Configuration for High-Risk Areas (03.04.12) System and Component Configuration for High-Risk Areas
High-Level Description
Family: Configuration Management Framework: NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 Applicability: Systems processing, storing, or transmitting CUI
Issue systems or system components with the following configurations to individuals traveling to high-risk locations: [organization-defined]. Apply the following security requirements to the systems or components when the individuals return from travel: [organization-defined].
What to Check
- Verify System and Component Configuration for High-Risk Areas (03.04.12) System and Component Configuration for High-Risk Areas is implemented for CUI systems
- Review SSP documentation for System and Component Configuration for High-Risk Areas (03.04.12)
- Validate CMMC Level 2 assessment objective for System and Component Configuration for High-Risk Areas (03.04.12)
- Confirm POA&M addresses any gaps for System and Component Configuration for High-Risk Areas (03.04.12)
How to Test
Step 1: Review System Security Plan
Examine the SSP for System and Component Configuration for High-Risk Areas (03.04.12) implementation description and responsible parties.
Step 2: Assess Implementation
# Verify security controls protecting CUI
# Check access controls, encryption, monitoring as applicable
# For Linux systems:
ls -la /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
grep -r "CUI\|controlled" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
# For cloud:
# Use cloud-audit-mcp tools to assess posture
Step 3: CMMC Assessment Validation
Verify this requirement passes CMMC Level 2 assessment methodology per SP 800-171A Rev 3.

Requirement Statement
Issue systems or system components with the following configurations to individuals traveling to high-risk locations: [organization-defined]. Apply the following security requirements to the systems or components when the individuals return from travel: [organization-defined].
Supplemental Guidance
When it is known that a system or a system component will be in a high-risk area, additional security requirements may be needed to counter the increased threat. Organizations can implement protective measures on the systems or system components used by individuals departing on and returning from travel. Actions include determining whether the locations are of concern, defining the required configurations for the components, ensuring that the components are configured as intended before travel is initiated, and taking additional actions after travel is completed. For example, systems going into high-risk areas can be configured with sanitized hard drives, limited applications, and more stringent configuration settings. Actions applied to mobile devices upon return from travel include examining the device for signs of physical tampering and purging and reimaging the device storage.
