Protection methods such as TLS, encrypted VPNs, or IPSEC must be implemented if the data owner has a strict requirement for ensuring data integrity and confidentiality is maintained at every step of the data transfer and handling process.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-57641 WN12-00-000019 SV-72051r1_rule Medium
Description
Information can be either unintentionally or maliciously disclosed or modified during preparation for transmission, for example, during aggregation, at protocol transformation points, and during packing/unpacking. These unauthorized disclosures or modifications compromise the confidentiality or integrity of the information. Ensuring the confidentiality of transmitted information requires the operating system to take measures in preparing information for transmission. This can be accomplished via access control and encryption. Use of this requirement will be limited to situations where the data owner has a strict requirement for ensuring data integrity and confidentiality is maintained at every step of the data transfer and handling process. When transmitting data, operating systems need to support transmission protection mechanisms such as TLS, encrypted VPNs, or IPSEC.

Check Text ( C-58463r3_chk )
If the data owner has a strict requirement for ensuring data integrity and confidentiality is maintained at every step of the data transfer and handling process, verify protection methods such as TLS, encrypted VPNs, or IPSEC have been implemented. If protection methods have not been implemented, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-62843r3_fix)
Configure protection methods such as TLS, encrypted VPNs, or IPSEC when the data owner has a strict requirement for ensuring data integrity and confidentiality is maintained at every step of the data transfer and handling process to maintain the confidentiality and integrity.
