To effectively assess whether "system media containing FCI is sanitized before it is released for reuse" as per your objective "[b]," you'll need to consider both appropriate evidence types and strategic prioritization of assessment approaches.
Evidence Types Supported by Assessment Objects
1. **Artifacts (I1):**
- *Media Sanitization Logs:* Detailed logs that provide a record of sanitization activities performed on media before reuse.
2. **Document (I2):**
- *Sanitization Procedures and Policies for Media Reuse:* Documents detailing the procedures to be followed when sanitizing media intended for reuse, ensuring compliance with organizational standards.
3. **Interview:**
- Gathering information from personnel responsible for handling FCI on system media can provide insights into how policies are implemented practically.
4. **Test (I5):**
- *Sanitization Verification Test:* Testing the effectiveness of sanitization methods by checking residual data presence after a sanitization process is completed.
Prioritizing Assessment Approaches
1. **Examine:**
- Start with examining documentation such as policies and procedures to understand what processes are formally in place for media reuse. This gives you an overview of expected practices and controls.
2. **Interview:**
- Conduct interviews with personnel involved in the sanitization process, focusing on how these documented procedures are actually implemented. Interviews can provide practical insights into any deviations from written policies.
3. **Test:**
- Testing should be prioritized after reviewing documentation and conducting interviews to confirm that the practices being used effectively sanitize media as required by policy before reuse.
Summary
For assessing whether system media containing FCI is sanitized prior to release for reuse:
- Prioritize artifacts like sanitization logs and documents such as procedures and policies, which provide formal evidence of compliance requirements. - Begin with examining documentation to understand what the organization intends or requires in terms of process standards. - Follow up by interviewing personnel involved in these processes to gather insights on practical implementation and any real-world challenges faced. - Use testing as a validation tool after reviewing documents and interviews, ensuring that sanitization methods are effective.
This structured prioritization ensures you have a comprehensive understanding both from a policy perspective and through actual practice verification.
