Description
The review of AC=1 modules that reside in APF authorized libraries must be reviewed annually. The IAO will maintain documentation identifying the integrity and justification of Vendor APF authorized libraries. For non-vendor APF authorized libraries, the source and documentation identifying the integrity and justification that describes the AC=1 module process will be maintained by the IAO. Sites have undocumented and/or unauthorized AC=1 modules have a possible risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and present a clear risk to the operating system, ACP, and customer data.
