Statement

Require the developer of the system, system component, or system service to enable integrity verification of hardware components.

Guidance

Hardware integrity verification allows organizations to detect unauthorized changes to hardware components using developer-provided tools, techniques, methods, and mechanisms. Organizations may verify the integrity of hardware components with hard-to-copy labels, verifiable serial numbers provided by developers, and by requiring the use of anti-tamper technologies. Delivered hardware components also include hardware and firmware updates to such components.

Assessment Objective

the developer of the system, system component, or system service is required to enable integrity verification of hardware components.
