CCI-001055 Definition

The organization defines a frequency for scanning for vulnerabilities in the information system and hosted applications.

Status
Type	CheckType.policy

Master Assessment Datasheet

Implementation Guidance

DoD has defined the frequency as every 30 days or as directed by an authoritative source (e.g. IAVM, CTOs, DTMs, STIGs).

Validation Procedures

The organization being inspected/assessed is automatically compliant with this CCI because they are covered at the DoD level. DoD has defined the frequency as every 30 days or as directed by an authoritative source (e.g. IAVM, CTOs, DTMs, STIGs).

Compelling Evidence

Automatically compliant.
