PR.PS Platform security

Platform Security: configuration management, software and hardware maintenance, log generation, preventing unauthorized software and secure software development; six Subcategories.

PR.PS-01 Configuration management

Establishing and applying configuration management: hardened baselines under least functionality, review of default settings at install or upgrade, and monitoring for deviations from baselines.

PR.PS-02 Software maintenance and removal

Maintaining, replacing and removing software by risk: patching within defined timeframes, replacing container instances, retiring end-of-life versions and removing unauthorized or unnecessary software.

PR.PS-03 Hardware maintenance and disposal

Maintaining, replacing and removing hardware by risk: replacing hardware that lacks security capabilities, planning end-of-life support and disposing of hardware securely and auditably.

PR.PS-04 Log generation

Generating log records across operating systems, applications and cloud services and sending them securely to logging infrastructure so they are available for continuous monitoring.

PR.PS-05 Unauthorized software prevented

Preventing installation and execution of unauthorized software through allowlisting or denylisting, source and integrity checks, protective DNS and approved-software-only installation.

PR.PS-06 Secure software development

Integrating secure development practices across the software development life cycle and monitoring their performance, from protecting code from tampering to releasing software with minimal vulnerabilities.
