Title

Inspection of Systems or Components

Control

Inspect the following systems or system components [Selection (one or more): at random; at {{ insert: param, sr-10_odp.03 }} ; upon {{ insert: param, sr-10_odp.04 }} ] to detect tampering: [Assignment: systems or system components].

Discussion

The inspection of systems or systems components for tamper resistance and detection addresses physical and logical tampering and is applied to systems and system components removed from organization-controlled areas. Indications of a need for inspection include changes in packaging, specifications, factory location, or entity in which the part is purchased, and when individuals return from travel to high-risk locations.

Parameters

sr-10_odp.01: systems or system components
sr-10_odp.02: [at random; at {{ insert: param, sr-10_odp.03 }} ; upon {{ insert: param, sr-10_odp.04 }} ]
sr-10_odp.03: frequency
sr-10_odp.04: indications of need for inspection
