CCI-000024

Prevent access to organization-defined security-relevant information except during secure, non-operable system states.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to prevent access to security-relevant information defined in AC-3 (5), CCI 1411 except during secure, non-operable system states. 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 24.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to prevent access to security-relevant information defined in AC-3 (5), CCI 1411 except during secure, non-operable system states. 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 24.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Signed and dated documentation which defines the process for preventing access to organization-defined security-relevant information except during secure, non-operable system states. 2.) Applicable STIG/SRG checks.
