CCI-001067

Implement privileged access authorization to organization-identified system components for organization-defined vulnerability scanning activities.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to implement privileged access authorization to all information systems and infrastructure components for selected vulnerability scanning activities defined in RA-5 (5), CCI 2906. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization being inspected/assessed must comply with the STIG/SRG guidance that pertains to CCI 1067. DoD has defined the information system components as all information systems and infrastructure components.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to implement privileged access authorization to all information systems and infrastructure components for selected vulnerability scanning activities defined in RA-5 (5), CCI 2906. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization conducting the inspection/assessment evaluates the components to ensure that the organization being inspected/assessed has configured the information system in compliance with the applicable STIGs and SRGs pertaining to CCI 1067. DoD has defined the information system components as all information systems and infrastructure components.
