Supplemental controls may be added to further strengthen the baseline controls specified for the organization’s selected assurance levels. Organizations SHOULD identify and implement supplemental controls to address specific threats in the operational environment that may not be addressed by the baseline controls. For example:

• To complete the proofing process, an organization could choose to verify an individual against additional pieces of identity evidence beyond what is required by the assurance level due to a high prevalence of fraudulent attempts.

• An organization could restrict users to only phishing-resistant authentication at AAL2.
• An organization could choose to implement risk-scoring analytics and re-proofing mechanisms to confirm a user’s identity when their access attempts exhibit certain risk factors.

Any supplemental controls SHALL be assessed for impacts based on the same factors used to tailor the organization’s assurance level and SHALL be documented.
