Verify security configuration tools, or an equivalent process, are being used to configure Windows systems to meet security requirements. Security configuration tools that are integrated into Windows, such as Group Policies and Security Templates, may be used to configure platforms for security compliance. If an alternate method is used to configure a system (e.g., manually using the DISA Windows Security STIGs, etc.) that achieves the same configured result, this is acceptable. |
