Security Safeguards
  • The protective measures and controls that are prescribed to meet the security requirements specified for an AIS. These safeguards may include but are not necessarily limited to, hardware and software security features; operation procedures; accountability procedures; access and distribution controls; management constraints; personnel security; and physical structures, areas, and devices. (DODD 5200-28)
