Assessment Objectives
In addition to relevant policies, standards and procedures, the assessor shall examine, interview, and/or test to determine if appropriately scoped evidence exists to support the claim that:
- CFG-04.1_A01 the means of limiting unsuccessful logon attempts is defined.
Assessment rigor: 1
Origin: 171A_3.1.8[a] - CFG-04.1_A02 the defined means of limiting unsuccessful logon attempts is implemented.
Assessment rigor: 1
Origin: 171A_3.1.8[b] - CFG-04.1_A03 the number of consecutive invalid logon attempts by a user allowed during a time period is defined.
Assessment rigor: 1
Origin: 53A_R5_AC-07_ODP[01] 171A_R3_A.03.01.08.ODP[01] - CFG-04.1_A04 <A.03.01.08.ODP[03]: SELECTED PARAMETER VALUES> when the maximum number of unsuccessful attempts is exceeded.
Defined parameters: Select one or more: - lock the account or node for an at least 15- minute time period; - lock the account or node until released by an administrator and notify a system administrator
Assessment rigor: NIST 800-171
Origin: 53A_R5_AC-07b. 171A_R3_A.03.01.08.b - CFG-04.1_A05 the time period to which the number of consecutive invalid logon attempts by a user is limited is defined.
Assessment rigor: 2
Origin: 53A_R5_AC-07_ODP[02] 171A_R3_A.03.01.08.ODP[02] - CFG-04.1_A06 the time period for an account or node to be locked is defined (if selected).
Assessment rigor: 2
Origin: 53A_R5_AC-07_ODP[04] 171A_R3_A.03.01.08.ODP[04] - CFG-04.1_A07 delay algorithm for the next logon prompt is defined.
Assessment rigor: 3
Origin: 53A_R5_AC-07_ODP[05] - CFG-04.1_A08 other action to be taken when the maximum number of unsuccessful attempts is exceeded is defined.
Assessment rigor: 3
Origin: 53A_R5_AC-07_ODP[03] 53A_R5_AC-07_ODP[06] - CFG-04.1_A09 a limit of <A.03.01.08.ODP[01]: number> consecutive invalid logon attempts by a user during <A.03.01.08.ODP[02]: time period> is enforced.
Defined parameters: SDP values: [01] - at most five (5) [02] - period of five (5) minutes
Assessment rigor: NIST 800-171
Origin: 53A_R5_AC-07a. 171A_R3_A.03.01.08.a - CFG-04.1_A10 one or more of the following PARAMETER VALUES are selected: {the account or node is locked automatically for <A.03.01.08.ODP[04]: time period>; the account or node is locked automatically until released by an administrator; the next logon prompt is delayed automatically; the system administrator is notified automatically; other action is taken automatically}.
Defined parameters: at least 15- minute time period
Assessment rigor: NIST 800-171
Origin: 171A_R3_A.03.01.08.ODP[03]

- Secure Controls Framework -
The Secure Controls Framework® (SCF)
"The SCF is the Common Controls Framework™ (CCF), the world's most comprehensive cybersecurity and data privacy metaframework - it is also free to use. The entire concept is building secure, compliant and resilient capabilities in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
The SCF is more than just a unified control catalog, since its included content creates a playbook for Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) capabilities. Used globally by organizations of every size, the SCF is a robust and scalable solution for security, compliance and resilience controls. As a comprehensive security framework, the SCF maps 1,400+ controls across 200+ laws, regulations, and industry frameworks so you can implement once and comply everywhere.
Like it or not, cybersecurity is a protracted war on an asymmetric battlefield, where the threats are everywhere and as defenders we have to make the effort to work together to help improve cybersecurity and data privacy practices, since we all suffer when massive data breaches occur or when cyber attacks have physical impacts. Hackers share information on attack methods with other hackers, so why shouldn’t the good guys share information on how to best protect an organization? We decided to take action and make a difference, since we feel it is too important to wait for someone else to fix the problems that exist.
The SCF is made up of volunteers, mainly specialists within the cybersecurity profession, who focus on GRC and the cybersecurity side of data privacy. These are auditors, engineers, architects, incident responders, consultants and other specialists who live and breathe these topics on a daily basis. The end product is "expert-derived content" that makes up the SCF." https://securecontrolsframework.com/Terms & Conditions
