SC-15 Collaborative Computing Devices and Applications

Control

  1. Prohibit remote activation of collaborative computing devices and applications with the following exceptions: [Assignement: exceptions where remote activation is to be allowed] ; and
  2. Provide an explicit indication of use to users physically present at the devices.

Discussion

Collaborative computing devices and applications include remote meeting devices and applications, networked white boards, cameras, and microphones. The explicit indication of use includes signals to users when collaborative computing devices and applications are activated.

Assessment Objective

  1. remote activation of collaborative computing devices and applications is prohibited except [Assignement: exceptions where remote activation is to be allowed];
  2. an explicit indication of use is provided to users physically present at the devices.

Assessment Method

Examine

System and communications protection policy procedures addressing collaborative computing access control policy and procedures system design documentation system configuration settings and associated documentation system audit records system security plan other relevant documents or records

Interview

System/network administrators organizational personnel with information security responsibilities system developer organizational personnel with responsibilities for managing collaborative computing devices

1. Overview

SC-15(01) Physical or Logical Disconnect

Control

Provide [Selection(one-or-more): physical; logical] disconnect of collaborative computing devices in a manner that supports ease of use.

Discussion

Failing to disconnect from collaborative computing devices can result in subsequent compromises of organizational information. Providing easy methods to disconnect from such devices after a collaborative computing session ensures that participants carry out the disconnect activity without having to go through complex and tedious procedures. Disconnect from collaborative computing devices can be manual or automatic.

Assessment Objective

the [Selection(one-or-more): physical; logical] disconnect of collaborative computing devices is/are provided in a manner that supports ease of use.

Assessment Method

Examine

System and communications protection policy procedures addressing collaborative computing access control policy and procedures system design documentation system configuration settings and associated documentation system audit records system security plan other relevant documents or records

Interview

System/network administrators organizational personnel with information security responsibilities system developer organizational personnel with responsibilities for managing collaborative computing devices
SC-15(03) Disabling and Removal in Secure Work Areas

Control

Disable or remove collaborative computing devices and applications from [Assignement: systems or system components] in [Assignement: secure work areas].

Discussion

Failing to disable or remove collaborative computing devices and applications from systems or system components can result in compromises of information, including eavesdropping on conversations. A Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) is an example of a secure work area.

Assessment Objective

collaborative computing devices and applications are disabled or removed from [Assignement: systems or system components] in [Assignement: secure work areas].

Assessment Method

Examine

System and communications protection policy procedures addressing collaborative computing access control policy and procedures system design documentation system configuration settings and associated documentation system audit records list of secure work areas systems or system components in secured work areas where collaborative computing devices are to be disabled or removed system security plan other relevant documents or records

Interview

SC-15(04) Explicitly Indicate Current Participants

Control

Provide an explicit indication of current participants in [Assignement: online meetings and teleconferences].

Discussion

Explicitly indicating current participants prevents unauthorized individuals from participating in collaborative computing sessions without the explicit knowledge of other participants.

Assessment Objective

an explicit indication of current participants in [Assignement: online meetings and teleconferences] is provided.

Assessment Method

Examine

System and communications protection policy procedures addressing collaborative computing access control policy and procedures system design documentation system configuration settings and associated documentation system audit records list of types of meetings and teleconferences requiring explicit indication of current participants system security plan other relevant documents or records
