The Cisco ISE must be configured to profile endpoints connecting to the network. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 4.

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity

Description
It is possible for endpoints to be manually added to an incorrect endpoint identity group. The endpoint policy can be dynamically set through profiling. If the endpoint group is statically set but the endpoint policy is set to dynamic, then it is possible to identify endpoints that may receive unintended access.
