CCI-001632

Protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by either physically separated communications paths or logically separated communications paths based upon encryption.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the information system by either physically separated communications paths or logically separated communications paths based upon encryption. 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 1632.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the information system by either physically separated communications paths or logically separated communications paths based upon encryption. 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 1632.
