CCI-002729

Implement organization-defined mechanisms to protect the integrity of boot firmware in organization-defined system components.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to implement security safeguards defined in SI-7 (10), CCI 2727 to protect the integrity of boot firmware in devices defined in SI-7 (10), CCI 2728. 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 2729.

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 safeguards defined in SI-7 (10), CCI 2727 to protect the integrity of boot firmware in devices defined in SI-7 (10), CCI 2728. 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 2729.
