CM-8(8): Automated Location Tracking

Control Statement

The organization employs automated mechanisms to support tracking of information system components by geographic location.

Supplemental Guidance

Such capability may also help organizations rapidly identify the location and responsible individuals of system components that have been compromised, breached, or are otherwise in need of mitigation actions.
