Microsoft IIS 8.5 Server STIG: IISW-SV-000118 (in versions v2 r7 through v1 r1)

Title

The IIS 8.5 web server must only contain functions necessary for operation. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

A web server can provide many features, services, and processes. Some of these may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production DoD system. The web server must provide the capability to disable, uninstall, or deactivate functionality and services that are deemed to be non-essential to the web server mission or can adversely impact server performance.

Check Content

Click on “Start”. Open Control Panel. Click on “Programs”. Click on “Programs and Features”. Review the installed programs, if any programs are installed other than those required for the IIS 8.5 web services, this is a finding. Note: If additional software is needed supporting documentation must be signed by the ISSO.
