The control as we hold it
CM-3 Configuration Change Control. a. Determine and document the types of changes to the system that are configuration-controlled; b. Review proposed configuration-controlled changes to the system and approve or disapprove such changes with explicit consideration for security and privacy impact analyses; c. Document configuration change decisions associated with the system; d. Implement approved configuration-controlled changes to the system; e. Retain records of configuration-controlled changes to the system for [Assignment: organization-defined time period]; f. Monitor and review activities associated with configuration-controlled changes to the system; and g. Coordinate and provide.
