Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• CM-06a. configuration settings that reflect the most restrictive mode consistent with operational requirements are established and documented for components employed within the system using [Assignment: common secure configurations];
• CM-06b. the configuration settings documented in CM-06a are implemented;
• CM-06c.
  • CM-06c.[01] any deviations from established configuration settings for [Assignment: system components] are identified and documented based on [Assignment: operational requirements];
  • CM-06c.[02] any deviations from established configuration settings for [Assignment: system components] are approved;
• CM-06d.
  • CM-06d.[01] changes to the configuration settings are monitored in accordance with organizational policies and procedures;
  • CM-06d.[02] changes to the configuration settings are controlled in accordance with organizational policies and procedures.

Assessment Methods

Examine

• Configuration management policy
• procedures addressing configuration settings for the system
• configuration management plan
• system design documentation
• system configuration settings and associated documentation
• common secure configuration checklists
• system component inventory
• evidence supporting approved deviations from established configuration settings
• change control records
• system data processing and retention permissions
• system audit records
• system security plan
• privacy plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• Organizational personnel with security configuration management responsibilities
• organizational personnel with privacy configuration management responsibilities
• organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities
• system/network administrators

Test

• Organizational processes for managing configuration settings
• mechanisms that implement, monitor, and/or control system configuration settings
• mechanisms that identify and/or document deviations from established configuration settings
