This mapping is a request for input/discussion.

SRG-OS-000207 CCI-001328 The operating system _*must support the requirement*_ that organizations, if an information system component failure is detected must activate an organization-defined alarm and/or automatically shuts down the operating system. Predictable failure prevention requires organizational planning to address system failure issues. If a subsystem of the operating system, hardware, or the operating system itself, is key to maintaining systems and security fails to function, the system could continue operating in an insecure state. The organization must be prepared for and the operating system must support capability that alarms for such conditions and/or automatically shuts down the operating system or the subsystem of the operating system.


met_inherently

There is nothing in this stating that the OS must "be aware" of the failure, we only have to "support the requirement" by providing functionality to bring down the box should a component failure be detected by someone/something. This is met by allowing an 'init 0' or 'shutdown -h now' to be performed at any time.
