Title

Email Configuration Management (CM) procedures must be implemented. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Uncontrolled, untested, or unmanaged changes can result in an unreliable security posture. All software libraries related to email services must be reviewed, considered, and the responsibility for CM assigned to ensure no libraries or configurations are left unaddressed. This is true even if CM responsibilities appear to cross organizational boundaries. Ensure patches, configurations, and upgrades are addressed. Process steps should have specific procedures and responsibilities assigned to individuals.

Check Content

Access the EDSP and confirm CM procedures and assignments are documented. Examine artifacts that show the processes have been implemented. If CM procedures are documented and implemented, this is not a finding.

Fix Text

Document Configuration Management procedures in the EDSP. Implement the CM procedures as documented.
