Windows 8/8.1 STIG: WN08-GE-000016 (in versions v1 r23 through v1 r16)

Title

Internet Information System (IIS) or its subcomponents must not be installed on a workstation. (Cat I impact)

Discussion

Installation of Internet Information System (IIS) may allow unauthorized internet services to be hosted. Websites must only be hosted on servers that have been designed for that purpose and can be adequately secured.

Check Content

Verify IIS is not installed by performing the following: Search for "Features". Select "Turn Windows features on or off". If the entries for "Internet Information Services" or "Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core" are selected, this is a finding. If an application requires IIS or a subset to be installed to function, this needs be documented with the ISSO. In addition, any applicable requirements from the IIS STIG must be addressed.

Fix Text

Remove "Internet Information Services" or "Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core" from the system.
