CCI-002382

Implement security functions as largely independent modules that maximize internal cohesiveness within modules and minimize coupling between modules.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to implement security functions as largely independent modules that maximize internal cohesiveness within modules and minimize coupling between modules. 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 2382.

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 security functions as largely independent modules that maximize internal cohesiveness within modules and minimize coupling between modules. 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 2382.
