Check Text ( C-53805r1_chk )
Interview the SA to determine if any shared accounts exist.

Any shared account must be documented with the IAO. Documentation should include the reason for the account, who has access to this account, and how the risk of using a shared account [which provides no individual identification and accountability] is mitigated.
Fix Text (F-56265r1_fix)
Remove, disable, or document with the IAO all shared accounts.
