PKI Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Issuance Frequency For Online Certificate Authorities, v1.0

Addresses the requirement for organization PKI certificate authorities (CAs) operated in an online manner to publish updated certificate revocation lists (CRLs) at no greater than a documented time interval.
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.
