Information Management and Retention (03.14.08) Information Management and Retention

High-Level Description

Family: System and Information Integrity Framework: NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 Applicability: Systems processing, storing, or transmitting CUI

Information Management and Retention

What to Check

• Verify Information Management and Retention (03.14.08) Information Management and Retention is implemented for CUI systems
• Review SSP documentation for Information Management and Retention (03.14.08)
• Validate CMMC Level 2 assessment objective for Information Management and Retention (03.14.08)
• Confirm POA&M addresses any gaps for Information Management and Retention (03.14.08)

How to Test

Step 1: Review System Security Plan

Examine the SSP for Information Management and Retention (03.14.08) implementation description and responsible parties.

Step 2: Assess Implementation

# Verify security controls protecting CUI
# Check access controls, encryption, monitoring as applicable

# For Linux systems:
ls -la /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
grep -r "CUI\|controlled" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null

# For cloud:
# Use cloud-audit-mcp tools to assess posture

Step 3: CMMC Assessment Validation

Verify this requirement passes CMMC Level 2 assessment methodology per SP 800-171A Rev 3.

Tools

Remediation Guide

Requirement Statement

Implement Information Management and Retention per NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3.

Supplemental Guidance

Federal agencies consider data retention requirements for nonfederal organizations. Retaining CUI on nonfederal systems after contracts or agreements have concluded increases the attack surface for those systems and the risk of the information being compromised. NARA provides federal policy and guidance on records retention and schedules.
