Assessment for Objective [f]: Logical access restrictions associated with changes to the system are documented

Evidence Types Ranking (Most to Least Valuable)

1. **Documents**: Primary evidence

  - Change control records
  - System documentation
  - Configuration management procedures
  - Access control documentation
  - System security plan sections on logical access

2. **Artifacts**: Strong supporting evidence

  - System configurations showing access rules
  - Change request templates with access requirements
  - Documentation of privilege levels
  - Access control matrices in system records

3. **Screen Share**: Useful but secondary

  - View documentation systems
  - Observe how logical access restrictions are recorded
  - See change management documentation systems

4. **Physical Review**: Limited value for logical documentation

  - Generally not applicable for logical access documentation
  - Might observe documented procedures at workstations

Assessment Approach Priority

1. **Examine** (Primary approach)

  - Review system documentation for logical access restrictions
  - Check change control procedures for documentation requirements
  - Verify privileged account documentation
  - Look for documented procedures for system changes
  - Ensure documentation exists for different privilege levels

2. **Interview** (Valuable supplement)

  - Talk with system administrators about documentation practices
  - Interview IT security staff about access documentation
  - Discuss with change management personnel about documentation
  - Verify personnel understand documentation requirements

3. **Test** (Limited applicability)

  - Least relevant for verifying documentation exists
  - Could validate that documented restrictions are accessible
  - More relevant for enforcement than documentation verification

For this objective, focus primarily on examining formal documentation to ensure logical access restrictions are properly documented. Interviews can confirm understanding of documentation requirements and processes, while testing has limited value for this specific objective since it focuses on documentation rather than implementation.
