NIST CSF 2.0 PR.PS-03: Maintain and Retire Hardware by Risk
PR.PS-03 is the hardware twin of software maintenance: replace old gear, plan for end of support, and dispose of devices securely.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
PR.PS-03 is the hardware twin of software maintenance: replace old gear, plan for end of support, and dispose of devices securely.
PR.PS-02 covers patching, replacing end of life software, and removing what you do not need. Here is how to run it with a small team and prove it to a customer.
PR.PS-01 asks you to set secure baselines, apply them everywhere, and notice drift. A practical path for small and mid size teams.
PR.IR-04 is about not running out of storage, compute, or bandwidth. Monitor usage, forecast it, and scale before users notice.
PR.IR-03 asks for mechanisms that meet your resilience requirements in normal and adverse conditions. Start by writing the requirement, then remove single points of failure.
PR.IR-02 covers fire, flood, heat, and power risks to your technology. For most small companies the work is mostly about asking your cloud and colo providers the right questions.
PR.IR-01 asks you to keep networks and environments free of unauthorized logical access. Here is what that means for a small or mid size company and how to show it.
PR.DS-11 asks that backups are created, protected, maintained and tested. A backup you have never restored is a hope, not a control. Here is how to prove yours works.
PR.DS-10 asks you to protect confidentiality, integrity and availability of data while it is being processed. Here is what that means for a small team without a hardware security budget.
