The operator will ensure that a DoD approved HBSS is installed, configured, and properly operating. Ask the operator to document the HBSS software installation and configuration. If the operator is not able to provide a documented configuration for an installed HBSS or if the HBSS is not properly configured, maintained, or used, this is a finding.
