Findings (MAC III - Administrative Sensitive)

Finding ID Severity Title
V-59979 High SharePoint must maintain the confidentiality of information during aggregation, packaging, and transformation in preparation for transmission. When transmitting data, applications need to leverage transmission protection mechanisms such as TLS, SSL VPNs, or IPSec.
V-59975 High SharePoint must ensure authentication of both client and server during the entire session. An example of this is SSL Mutual Authentication.
V-59977 High SharePoint must terminate user sessions upon user logoff, and when idle time limit is exceeded.
V-59971 High SharePoint must employ FIPS-validated cryptography to protect unclassified information when such information must be separated from individuals who have the necessary clearances yet lack the necessary access approvals.
V-59973 High SharePoint must validate the integrity of security attributes exchanged between systems.
V-59969 High SharePoint must employ NSA-approved cryptography to protect classified information.
V-59943 High SharePoint must enforce approved authorizations for controlling the flow of information between interconnected systems in accordance with applicable policy.
V-59985 High SharePoint must employ cryptographic mechanisms preventing the unauthorized disclosure of information during transmission, unless the transmitted data is otherwise protected by alternative physical measures.
V-59987 High SharePoint must prevent non-privileged users from circumventing malicious code protection capabilities.
V-59981 High SharePoint must implement an information system isolation boundary that minimizes the number of nonsecurity functions included within the boundary containing security functions.
V-59967 High SharePoint must employ FIPS-validated cryptography to protect unclassified information.
V-59965 High SharePoint must implement required cryptographic protections using cryptographic modules complying with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance.
V-59989 High SharePoint must use mechanisms for authentication to a cryptographic module that meet the requirements of applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance for such authentication.
V-59957 High SharePoint must prevent the execution of prohibited mobile code.
V-59937 High SharePoint must utilize approved cryptography to protect the confidentiality of remote access sessions.
V-59939 High SharePoint must use cryptography to protect the integrity of the remote access session.
V-59993 Medium The SharePoint Central Administration site must not be accessible from Extranet or Internet connections.
V-59991 Medium SharePoint server access to the Online Web Part Gallery must be configured for limited access.
V-59995 Medium For environments requiring an Internet-facing capability, the SharePoint application server upon which Central Administration is installed, must not be installed in the DMZ.
V-59963 Medium SharePoint must uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of non-organizational users).
V-60009 Medium When configuring SharePoint Central Administration, the port number selected must comply with DoD Ports and Protocol Management (PPSM) program requirements.
V-59997 Medium The SharePoint farm service account (database access account) must be configured with minimum privileges in Active Directory (AD).
V-59941 Medium SharePoint must ensure remote sessions for accessing security functions and security-relevant information are audited.
V-59919 Medium SharePoint must support the requirement to initiate a session lock after 15 minutes of system or application inactivity has transpired.
V-59961 Medium SharePoint must use replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.
V-60005 Medium The SharePoint setup account must be configured with the minimum privileges for the local server.
V-59935 Medium SharePoint must maintain and support the use of security attributes with stored information.
V-59983 Medium SharePoint must implement security functions as a layered structure minimizing interactions between layers of the design and avoiding any dependence by lower layers on the functionality or correctness of higher layers.
V-59945 Medium SharePoint must identify data type, specification, and usage when transferring information between different security domains so policy restrictions may be applied.
V-59949 Medium SharePoint must display an approved system use notification message or banner before granting access to the system.
V-60391 Medium The SharePoint farm service account (database access account) must be configured with the minimum privileges for the local server.
V-60011 Medium SharePoint-specific malware (i.e. anti-virus) protection software must be integrated and configured.
V-60001 Medium The SharePoint setup account must be configured with the minimum privileges in Active Directory.
V-59947 Medium SharePoint must provide the ability to prohibit the transfer of unsanctioned information in accordance with security policy.
V-60003 Medium The SharePoint setup account must be configured with the minimum privileges on the SQL server.
V-59999 Medium The SharePoint farm service account (database access account) must be configured with minimum privileges on the SQL server.
V-59955 Medium SharePoint must reject or delay, as defined by the organization, network traffic generated above configurable traffic volume thresholds.
V-59953 Medium SharePoint must allow designated organizational personnel to select which auditable events are to be audited by specific components of the system.
V-60007 Low A secondary SharePoint site collection administrator must be defined when creating a new site collection.
