The control requirements

Implement hardware separation mechanisms to facilitate process isolation.

Supplemental Guidance

Hardware-based separation of system processes is generally less susceptible to compromise than software-based separation, thus providing greater assurance that the separation will be enforced. Hardware separation mechanisms include hardware memory management.
