How Safeguard covers SP 800-82
- Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
- Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 12 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for SP 800-82.
- Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
- Policy templates: 25: 3 written for SP 800-82 and 22 from the standard set.
How each kind of coverage works, and what the readiness score counts: Compliance frameworks.
What a scan checks
Each scan of a product checks these 6 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
NIST82-CM-8 OT Asset and Software Inventory | OT operators must maintain a current inventory of hardware and software assets in the control environment, tailored from the CM-8 component inventory control (SP 800-82r3, OT overlay of SP 800-53 CM-8) | Scan |
NIST82-SI-2 OT Patch Management | A patch and flaw-remediation program for OT requires knowing the exact version of every software component so patch applicability can be assessed before scheduled maintenance windows (SP 800-82r3 patch management guidance, OT overlay of SI-2) | Scan |
NIST82-RA-5 OT Vulnerability Identification | Because active scanning is often unsafe on ICS networks, vulnerability identification relies on matching inventoried components against advisories, requiring standard identifiers on components (SP 800-82r3 vulnerability management guidance, OT overlay of RA-5) | Scan |
NIST82-SI-7 Control System Software Integrity | Integrity of software and firmware deployed to control systems must be verifiable, which requires integrity hashes for delivered components (SP 800-82r3, OT overlay of SI-7) | Scan |
NIST82-SR OT Supply Chain Protection | OT supply chain risk management requires knowing the vendor/supplier of each software component in the control environment to evaluate supplier trustworthiness (SP 800-82r3, OT overlay of the SR family) | Scan |
NIST82-DOC Documented System Baseline | OT security programs must document system baselines in a form usable for change detection and incident response, favoring a machine-readable inventory format (SP 800-82r3 asset management guidance) | Scan |
