Benchmark Data for System and Information Integrity (SI)

The System and Information Integrity (SI) control family is a vital component of the FedRAMP Moderate security baseline, focusing on maintaining information integrity and system security in a moderate impact level environment.

Organizations must establish policies and procedures defining controls for information integrity and system security.

Prompt identification and mitigation of system vulnerabilities through procedures such as applying security patches and conducting security testing.

Implementing anti-malware software and controlling software installations to prevent malicious code introduction, execution, and propagation.

Enforcing configuration management procedures, including defining standard configurations, change management processes, and regular reviews to maintain secure system configurations.

Monitoring system activity for detecting and responding to security incidents using monitoring tools, incident response procedures, and timely incident mitigation.

Verifying software, firmware, and information integrity through applying cryptographic hash functions and digital signatures before distribution or execution.

The SI control family in FedRAMP Moderate Revision 4 is crucial for protecting organizations from vulnerabilities, ensuring effective incident response, and maintaining overall system information integrity in a moderate impact level environment.
