• any deviations from established configuration settings are identified and documented.
• any deviations from established configuration settings are approved.
• the following configuration settings for the system are implemented: [Assignment: configuration settings].

Assessment Methods

Examine

• 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
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• personnel with security configuration management responsibilities
