CCI-000016

The information system automatically removes or disables temporary accounts after an organization-defined time period for each type of account.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to automatically remove or disable temporary accounts after 72 hours. 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 000016. DoD has defined the time period as 72 hours.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to automatically remove or disable temporary accounts after 72 hours. 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 000016. DoD has defined the time period as 72 hours.
