Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• system flaws are identified.
• system flaws are reported.
• system flaws are corrected.
• security-relevant software updates are installed within [Assignment: time period] of the release of the updates.
• security-relevant firmware updates are installed within [Assignment: time period] of the release of the updates.

Assessment Methods

Examine

• system and information integrity policy and procedures
• procedures for flaw remediation
• procedures for configuration management
• list of recent security flaw remediation actions performed on the system
• list of flaws and vulnerabilities that may potentially affect the system
• test results from the installation of software and firmware updates to correct system flaws
• installation and change control records for security-relevant software and firmware updates
• system security plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• personnel responsible for installing, configuring, or maintaining the system
• personnel responsible for flaw remediation
• personnel with configuration management responsibilities
• personnel with information security responsibilities
• system administrators

Test

• processes for identifying, reporting, and correcting system flaws
• processes for installing software and firmware updates
• mechanisms for supporting or implementing the reporting and correction of system flaws
• mechanisms for supporting or implementing the testing software and firmware updates
