SI-10(2) Review and Resolve Errors
Enhancement of: SI-10
High-Level Description
Family: System and Information Integrity (SI) Framework: NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
Resolution of input validation errors includes correcting systemic causes of errors and resubmitting transactions with corrected input. Input validation errors are those related to the information inputs defined by the organization in the base control ( SI-10).
What to Check
- Verify SI-10(2) Review and Resolve Errors is documented in SSP
- Confirm control is operating effectively
- Review evidence of continuous monitoring for SI-10(2)
- Verify enhancement builds upon base control SI-10
How to Test
Step 1: Review Documentation
Examine the System Security Plan (SSP) and related artifacts for SI-10(2) implementation details. Verify the organization has documented how this control is satisfied.
Step 2: Validate Implementation
# For cloud environments, use cloud-audit-mcp tools
# For on-premises, review system configurations directly
# Example: Check if account management policies exist
grep -r "account.management\|access.control" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
Step 3: Test Operating Effectiveness
Verify the control is actively functioning, not just documented. Check logs, configurations, and operational evidence.
