A documented cybersecurity architecture is established and maintained that includes IT and OT systems and networks and aligns with system and asset categorization and prioritization
The cybersecurity architecture is documented so that it can be communicated to and reviewed by important stakeholders. The cybersecurity architecture supports reasoning about asset prioritization and important architectural safeguards concerning the interactions among IT and OT assets. For example, design decisions concerning trust boundaries need to be documented in terms of the architectural elements involved and the information exchanges among them. The cybersecurity architecture should include appropriate considerations for assets used in the delivery of the function or that may increase cyber risk to the function, including mobile assets, personal computing and networking equipment used for remote connectivity, field devices, VoIP, badging and other physical access systems, and digital signage.
