System-Specific Security Control Glossary Definition

System-Specific Security Control is a security-control concept used to define, tailor, inherit, assess, or document safeguards within an information system.

System-Specific Security Control appears in risk assessments, security plans, control assessments, audits, policies, and compliance evidence. It is retained here because professionals may encounter the term in NIST guidance, security reviews, or technical documentation and need a concise public explanation.
