To effectively assess that "digital media containing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is securely stored," it's important to identify and prioritize relevant evidence types based on different assessment objects. Here’s a structured approach:

Evidence Types Ranking

1. **Physical Review**:

  - A physical review of storage locations for digital media devices ensures direct verification that secure measures are in place, such as locked cabinets or restricted access rooms.

2. **Document**:

  - Documents including policies and procedures related to the storage of digital media containing CUI provide foundational evidence demonstrating organizational commitments and compliance requirements.
  

3. **Artifacts**:

  - Artifacts like inventory logs for digital devices, audit trails showing device usage, and system configuration records serve as practical evidence supporting secure storage practices.

4. **Screen Share** (if applicable):

  - Screen sharing can be useful to demonstrate how systems enforce security protocols related to the physical access control of areas where digital media are stored.

Prioritization of Assessment Approaches

1. **Physical Review**:

  - Conducting a physical review is critical as it offers direct observation and verification that secure storage practices for digital media devices are implemented effectively.
  

2. **Examine**:

  - Examine relevant documents to understand the policies, procedures, and controls in place regarding the secure storage of digital media containing CUI.

3. **Interview**:

  - Use interviews as a supplementary approach to gain insights into actual practices, clarify any ambiguities found during physical reviews or document examinations, and identify potential areas for improvement.

Implementation Steps

- Begin with a thorough physical review of locations where digital media devices are stored to ensure security measures like restricted access are implemented. - Examine documents related to the storage policies and procedures for managing digital media containing CUI to confirm compliance with standards. - Conduct interviews as needed to provide additional context, verify findings from examinations and reviews, or uncover opportunities for enhancing secure storage practices.

By following this structured approach, you can effectively assess that digital media containing CUI is securely stored.
