Authentication of Remote Management Workstations Commensurate with System Assurance Requirements, v1.0

Addresses the requirement for remote management workstations to authenticate at the same level of assurance required by the system.
NOTE:If an assessment step references organization-defined elements (E.g. <organization-defined personnel or roles>, <organization-defined frequency>, etc.), corresponding citations/excerpts must be provided to confirm that the organization has established and documented these values and that they apply as referenced in the conformance criteria.

Similarly, if a "Selection" among multiple options (e.g. [Selection (one or more): as needed; ]) is specified, evidence must be provided to establish that the option(s) implemented by the organization have been defined and documented.

The assessment step shall not be marked as satisfied without this evidence.

Assessment Step

1
Authentication of Remote Management Workstations Commensurate with System Assurance Requirements (AuthenticationofRemoteManagementWorkstationsCommensuratewithSystemAssuranceRequirements)
Does the system establish connection with a remote workstation used to administer it only after successful authentication of the remote workstation at a level of assurance commensurate with that of the system?
Artifact
A1
Provide evidence (e.g. organizational policies, procedures, compliance/assessment reports, etc.) that support the assessor's response to this assessment step.
If conformance criteria reference organization-defined elements (e.g. <organization-defined personnel or roles>, <organization-defined frequency>, etc.), these values must be defined and documented by the organization.

Similarly, if the criteria specify a "Selection" among multiple options (e.g. [Selection (one or more): as needed; ]), the option(s) implemented by the organization must also be defined and documented.

Conformance Criteria (1)
