Family: CM

Level Introduced: 2

Title: System Change Management

Practice:
Track, review, approve, or disapprove, and log changes to organizational systems.

CMMC Clarification:
You should track, review, and approve changes before committing to production. Changes to computing environments can create unintended and unforeseen issues. They can affect the security and availability of the systems. Organizations should hold regular meetings about changes. Relevant experts should review and approve proposed changes. They should discuss potential impacts, before the organization puts the changes in place. Relevant items include changes to the physical environment and to the system hosted within it.

Example
Once a month, the management and technical team leads join a change control board meeting. During this meeting, everyone reviews all proposed changes to the environment. This includes changes to the physical and computing environments. The meeting ensures that relevant subject matter experts review changes and propose alternatives where needed.
