Statement
Protect the system from information leakage due to electromagnetic signals emanations.
Guidance
Information leakage is the intentional or unintentional release of data or information to an untrusted environment from electromagnetic signals emanations. The security categories or classifications of systems (with respect to confidentiality), organizational security policies, and risk tolerance guide the selection of controls employed to protect systems against information leakage due to electromagnetic signals emanations.
Assessment Objective
the system is protected from information leakage due to electromagnetic signal emanations.
Physical and environmental protection policy

mechanisms protecting the system against electronic signal emanations
facility housing the system
records from electromagnetic signal emanation tests
system security plan
other relevant documents or records
Organizational personnel with responsibilities for system environmental controls
organizational personnel with information security responsibilities
Mechanisms supporting and/or implementing protection from information leakage due to electromagnetic signal emanations
