The information system implements multifactor authentication for remote access to privileged accounts such that one of the factors is provided by a device separate from the system gaining access.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to implement multifactor authentication for remote access to privileged accounts such that one of the factors is provided by a device separate from the system gaining access. 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 1948.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to implement multifactor authentication for remote access to privileged accounts such that one of the factors is provided by a device separate from the system gaining access. 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 1948.
