Common Control Edits

Lexicographers update Common Controls language to ensure alignment with dictionary definitions, resulting in minor wording changes to maintain current and defensible language.

March 6, 2026

Periodically, our expert team of lexicographers review the Common Controls in our library and identify opportunities for minor updates to the verbiage. These updates help ensure alignment with the definitions in our dictionary and keep the language current and defensible. When this occurs, you may notice small wording changes to the Controls you have in use. Recently, the language in the following Common Controls was updated:

  • CC ID 17329 was updated from “Establish, implement, and maintain system maintenance program.” to “Establish, implement, and maintain a maintenance program.”
  • CC ID 6824 was updated from “Include an issue tracking system in the Quality Management program.” to “Establish, implement, and maintain a problem management system.”
  • CC ID 672 was updated from “Provide transactional walkthrough procedures for external auditors.” to “Establish, implement, and maintain transactional walkthrough procedures.”
  • CC ID 12338 was updated from “Remediate security violations according to organizational standards.” to “Remediate incidents according to organizational standards.”
  • CC ID 13757 was updated from “Conduct personal data processing training.” to “Establish, implement, and maintain a privacy awareness and training program.”
