System-Specific Control

Control implemented and managed solely by an individual information system.

Definition

System-specific controls are the responsibility of the system owner and are not inherited from other systems. They are assessed as part of the system's own assessment.

Example

An application's specific session timeout configuration is system-specific.

Exam tip

If only the system implements it, it is system-specific.
