CCI-001233

The organization employs automated mechanisms on an organization-defined frequency to determine the state of information system components with regard to flaw remediation.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to employ automated mechanisms continuously with HBSS; 30 days for any additional internal network scans not covered by HBSS; annually for external scans by (Computer Network Defense Service Provider) CNDSP to determine the state of information system components with regard to flaw remediation. 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 1233. DoD has defined the frequency as continuously with HBSS; 30 days for any additional internal network scans not covered by HBSS; annually for external scans by (Computer Network Defense Service Provider) CNDSP.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to employ automated mechanisms continuously with HBSS; 30 days for any additional internal network scans not covered by HBSS; annually for external scans by (Computer Network Defense Service Provider) CNDSP to determine the state of information system components with regard to flaw remediation. 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 1233. DoD has defined the frequency as continuously with HBSS; 30 days for any additional internal network scans not covered by HBSS; annually for external scans by (Computer Network Defense Service Provider) CNDSP.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Signed and dated system security plan. 2.) Reports and results from annual Computer Network Defense Service Provider scans (System security plan must document Computer Network Defense Service Plan information for comparison to scan results).
