CCI-001210

For organization-defined system components, load and execute the operating environment from hardware-enforced, read-only media.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to load and execute the operating environment from hardware-enforced, read-only media at information system components defined in SC-34, CCI 1212. 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 1210.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to load and execute the operating environment from hardware-enforced, read-only media at information system components defined in SC-34, CCI 1212. 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 1210.
