Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• the system is monitored for vulnerabilities [Assignment: frequency].
• the system is scanned for vulnerabilities [Assignment: frequency].
• system vulnerabilities are remediated within [Assignment: response times].
• the system is monitored for vulnerabilities when new vulnerabilities that affect the system are identified.
• the system is scanned for vulnerabilities when new vulnerabilities that affect the system are identified.
• system vulnerabilities to be scanned are updated [Assignment: frequency].
• system vulnerabilities to be scanned are updated when new vulnerabilities are identified and reported.

Assessment Methods

Examine

• risk assessment policy and procedures
• procedures for vulnerability scanning
• patch and vulnerability management records
• vulnerability scanning tools and configuration documentation
• vulnerability scanning results
• risk assessment
• risk assessment report
• system security plan
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• personnel with risk assessment and vulnerability scanning responsibilities
• personnel with vulnerability scan analysis responsibilities
• personnel with vulnerability remediation responsibilities
• personnel with information security responsibilities
• system administrators

Test

• processes for vulnerability monitoring, scanning, analysis, and remediation
• mechanisms for supporting or implementing vulnerability monitoring, scanning, analysis, and remediation
