CCI-001682

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

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to never automatically remove or disable emergency accounts. 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 1682. DoD has defined the time period as never.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to never automatically remove or disable emergency accounts. 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 1682. DoD has defined the time period as never.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Signed and dated documentation which defines how emergency accounts are never disabled or removed. 2.) Applicable STIG checks. 3.) Log trail of emergency accounts.
