Definition
The security controls (i.e., safeguards or countermeasures) for an information system that are primarily implemented and executed by people (as opposed to systems). Rationale: NIST SP 800-53 no longer includes the concept of operational, management, or technical controls, as it is not always clear which category any given control belongs.

The security controls (i.e., safeguards or countermeasures) for an information system that primarily are implemented and executed by people (as opposed to systems). (SP 800-53; SP 800-37; FIPS 200) (NISTIR)
