NIEF Minimal Security Controls Profile for Border and Transportation Security Data, v1.0

Minimal profile of security controls from NIST Special Publication 800-53 r4 for systems that handle the Border and Transportation Security information type, as defined by NIST Special Publication 800-60, Volume II, Revision 1, Section D.2.1. Border and Transportation Security includes facilitating or deterring entry and exit of people, goods, and conveyances at and between U.S. ports of entry, as well as ensuring the security of transportation and infrastructure networks, facilities, vehicles, and personnel within the United States. Border control involves enforcing the laws regulating the admission of foreign-born persons (i.e., aliens) to the United States. This includes patrolling and monitoring borders and deportation of illegal aliens. Some border control information is also associated with other mission information types (e.g., criminal apprehension, and criminal investigation and surveillance information). In such cases, the impact levels of the associated mission information may determine impact levels associated with border control information. Some aspects of ensuring security of transportation and infrastructure networks, facilities, vehicles, and personnel within the United States are also covered under the information types associated with the transportation mission. In some cases the border control information may be classified. Any classified information is treated under separate rules established for national security information. Systems that handle Border and Transportation Security information should operate at an impact level of MODERATE confidentiality, MODERATE integrity, and MODERATE availability, as recommended by NIST.
