Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed implements spam protection mechanisms at information system entry points to detect and take action on unsolicited messages.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment obtains and examines the hardware/software list to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed implements spam protection mechanisms at information system entry points to detect and take action on unsolicited messages. The organization may be required to demonstrate the use of the identified spam protection mechanisms.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Signed and dated System security plan documents what protection mechanisms are used to guard against spam at information system entry points. 2.) Protection software logs.
