CCI-001057 Definition

The organization employs vulnerability scanning tools and techniques that facilitate interoperability among tools and automate parts of the vulnerability management process by using standards for: enumerating platforms, software flaws, and improper configurations; formatting checklists and test procedures; and measuring vulnerability impact.

Master Assessment Datasheet

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed employs the DoD Enterprise scanning tool.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment obtains and examines the software list or vulnerability scanning procedures to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed employs the DoD Enterprise scanning tool.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Documentation of vulnerability scan tool use.
