The Cisco ISE must send an alert to the Information System Security Manager (ISSM) and System Administrator (SA), at a minimum, when security issues are found that put the network at risk. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 2.

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity

Description
Trusted computing should require authentication and authorization of both the user's identity and the identity of the computing device. An authorized user may be accessing the network remotely from a computer that does not meet DoD standards. This may compromise user information, particularly before or after a VPN tunnel is established.

If DoD is not at C2C Step 2 or higher, this is not a finding. If not required by the NAC SSP, this is not a finding. Verify that an alarm will be generated and sent when an endpoint has a change in posture status. From the Web Admin portal: 1. Choose Administration >> System >> Logging >> Logging Categories. 2. Verify the "AAA Audit", "Failed Attempts", and "Posture and Client Provisioning Audit" have LogCollector set as a target at a minimum. If the Posture and Client Provisioning Audit logging category is not configured to send to the LogCollector and/or another logging target, this is a finding.
