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-06_A01 assessed component configurations are included in the system component inventory.
  Assessment rigor: 1
  Origin: 53A_R5_CM-08(06)[01]
• CFG-06_A02 approved deviations to secure baseline configurations are documented in the system component inventory.
  Assessment rigor: 3
  Origin: 53A_R5_CM-08(06)[02]
• CFG-06_A03 configuration settings that reflect the most restrictive mode consistent with operational requirements are established and documented for components employed within the system using common secure configurations.
  Assessment rigor: 1
  Origin: 53A_R5_CM-06a.
• CFG-06_A04 changes to the configuration settings are controlled in accordance with organizational policies and procedures.
  Assessment rigor: 1
  Origin: 53A_R5_CM-06d.[02] 53A_R5_CM-06b.
• CFG-06_A05 any deviations from established configuration settings are identified and documented.
  Assessment rigor: 1
  Origin: 53A_R5_CM-06c.[01] 171A_R3_A.03.04.02.b[01]
• CFG-06_A06 any deviations from established configuration settings are approved.
  Assessment rigor: 1
  Origin: 53A_R5_CM-06c.[02] 171A_R3_A.03.04.02.b[02]
• CFG-06_A07 common secure configurations to establish and document configuration settings for components employed within the system are defined.
  Defined parameters: DoD Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs); Center for Internet Security (CIS) Level 2 guidelines where STIGs are not available; custom baselines where CIS guidelines are not available
  Assessment rigor: 2
  Origin: 53A_R5_CM-06_ODP[01]
• CFG-06_A08 system components for which approval of deviations is needed are defined.
  Assessment rigor: 3
  Origin: 53A_R5_CM-06_ODP[02]
• CFG-06_A09 operational requirements necessitating approval of deviations are defined.
  Assessment rigor: 3
  Origin: 53A_R5_CM-06_ODP[03]
• CFG-06_A10 changes to the configuration settings are monitored in accordance with organizational policies and procedures.
  Assessment rigor: 3
  Origin: 53A_R5_CM-06d.[01]
• CFG-06_A11 deviations to secure baseline configurations are assessed prior to being approved or denied.
  Assessment rigor: 1
  Origin: SCF Created

• 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/
