PR.DS-08
Does your organization implement hardware integrity verification mechanisms to detect unauthorized modifications or tampering of physical devices?
Explanation
Hardware integrity verification ensures that physical components have not been tampered with or compromised, which could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or system failures. This includes mechanisms like secure boot processes, Trusted Platform Modules (TPM), hardware fingerprinting, tamper-evident seals, or cryptographic verification of firmware and hardware components. Evidence could include documentation of hardware integrity verification procedures, screenshots of TPM status reports, logs from secure boot processes, inventory of devices with integrity verification capabilities, or vendor documentation showing hardware security features implemented across your infrastructure.
