CCI-002711

The information system performs an integrity check of organization-defined firmware at startup, at organization-defined transitional states or security-relevant events, or on an organization-defined frequency.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to perform an integrity check of firmware defined in SI-7 (1), CCI 2706 at startup, at transitional states or security-relevant events defined in SI-7 (1), CCI 2708, or annually. 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 2711. DoD has defined the frequency as annually.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to perform an integrity check of firmware defined in SI-7 (1), CCI 2706 at startup, at transitional states or security-relevant events defined in SI-7 (1), CCI 2708, or annually. 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 2711. DoD has defined the frequency as annually.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Signed and dated System security plan lists the organization-defined frequency at which integrity verification is performed on software. 2.) Trail of records (containing valid date/time stamps) to confirm frequency of integrity validation.
