CCI-001451

Select radio antennas and calibrate transmission power levels to reduce the probability that signals from wireless access points can be received outside of organization-controlled boundaries.

Implementation Guidance

Determine if: - radio antennas are selected to reduce the probability that signals from wireless access points can be received outside of organization-controlled boundaries. - transmission power levels are calibrated to reduce the probability that signals from wireless access points can be received outside of organization-controlled boundaries.

Validation Procedures

Examine: [SELECT FROM: Access control policy; procedures addressing wireless implementation and usage (including restrictions); system design documentation; system configuration settings and associated documentation; system audit records; system security plan; other relevant documents or records]. Interview: [SELECT FROM: System/network administrators; organizational personnel with information security responsibilities]. Test: [SELECT FROM: Calibration of transmission power levels for wireless access; radio antenna signals for wireless access; wireless access reception outside of organization-controlled boundaries].
