Description
The need to verify security functionality applies to all security functions. For those security functions unable to execute automated self-tests the organization either implements compensating security controls or explicitly accepts the risk of not performing the verification as required. Information system transitional states include startup, restart, shutdown, and abort. Permanent finding.
