SR-10 Inspection of Systems or Components
Control
Inspect the following systems or system components [Assignment: Selection (one-or-more): at random | at [sr-10_odp.03] | upon [sr-10_odp.04] ] to detect tampering: [Assignment: systems or system components].
Discussion
The inspection of systems or systems components for tamper resistance and detection addresses physical and logical tampering and is applied to systems and system components removed from organization-controlled areas. Indications of a need for inspection include changes in packaging, specifications, factory location, or entity in which the part is purchased, and when individuals return from travel to high-risk locations.
