Review the configuration of the device. Verify filters for the policy assessment device are set to take one of the approved action choices upon failure. Site is compliant if one of the following actions is perfomed in accordance with site policy. – Terminate the connection and place the device a “blacklist” to prevent future connection attempts until action is taken to remove the device from the blacklist; – Redirect traffic from the remote endpoint to the automated remediation subnet for connection to the remediation server; – Allow the device access to limited network services such as public web servers in the protected DMZ (must be approved by the DAA); – Allow the device and user full entry into the protected enclave but flag it for future remediation. With this option an automated reminder should be used to inform the user of the remediation status.
