The organization must have a written policy or training materials stating Bluetooth must be disabled on all applicable devices unless they employ FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules for data in transit.

Overview

Description
Policy and training provide assurance that security requirements will be implemented in practice. Failure to use FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography makes data more vulnerable to security breaches as the data is unencrypted and in clear text.

Check Text ( C-SRG-MPOL-014_chk )
This check only applies to sites using Bluetooth or ZigBee radios. Verify a written policy or training materials exists stating that Bluetooth (or ZigBee) will be disabled on all applicable devices unless they employ FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules for data in transit. If a policy does not exist or if it does not adequately cover the requirement, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-SRG-MPOL-014_fix)
Ensure there is a policy or training materials prohibiting use of Bluetooth data transmission without FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules.
