AU-10(2)—Validate Binding Of Information Producer Identity
>Control Description
a
Validate the binding of the information producer identity to the information at ⚙organization-defined frequency; and
b
Perform ⚙organization-defined actions in the event of a validation error.
>Cross-Framework Mappings
>Supplemental Guidance
Validating the binding of the information producer identity to the information prevents the modification of information between production and review. The validation of bindings can be achieved by, for example, using cryptographic checksums. Organizations determine if validations are in response to user requests or generated automatically.
