Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• SA-08(23) [Assignment: systems or system components] implement the security design principle of secure defaults.

Assessment Methods

Examine

• System and services acquisition policy
• configuration management policy
• procedures addressing the security design principle of secure defaults used in the specification, design, development, implementation, and modification of the system
• system design documentation
• procedures addressing the baseline configuration of the system
• configuration management plan
• system architecture and configuration documentation
• system configuration settings and associated documentation
• security and privacy requirements and specifications for the system
• system security and privacy architecture
• procedures addressing system documentation
• system documentation
• system security plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• Organizational personnel with the responsibility for determining system security and privacy requirements
• organizational personnel with system specification, design, development, implementation, and modification responsibilities
• system developers
• organizational personnel with information security responsibilities

Test

• Organizational processes for applying the security design principle of secure defaults in system specification, design, development, implementation, and modification
• mechanisms supporting the application of the security design principle of secure defaults in system specification, design, development, implementation, and modification
• organizational processes for managing baseline configurations
• mechanisms supporting configuration control of the baseline configuration
