Prompt

Complete the steps listed below.

1. View the NIST Cybersecurity and Privacy Reference Tool showing the different Security and Privacy Controls Families.

2. Create a simple table that iden�fies at least 3 of the controls listed in Table 1 in the document.

1. In your table, ensure that you:

1. Iden�fy one control that addresses each tenet of the CIA triad.

2. Jus�fy your control choice.

3. Provide cita�ons for sources you used for support. You must research at least one source per tenet.

Use the table below as a model for how your finished table should look. Do not reuse the examples below in your submission.

Control Category Jus�fica�on Source

In this column, include at

least 3 of the controls

from Table 1 in the

document.

In this column, iden�fy which

CIA triad category the control

falls into (confiden�ality,

integrity, or availability).

In this column, jus�fy your

categoriza�on using resources

that support your categoriza�on.

In this column, iden�fy the resource you used for support. (Use either an

APA-style reference or a direct link to the source.)

Example: CA –

Assessment,

Authoriza�on, and

Monitoring
