General Purpose Operating System Security Requirements Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The operating system must notify system administrators and ISSOs when accounts are modified.
Once an attacker establishes access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to modify an exi...Rule Medium Severity -
The operating system must notify system administrators and ISSOs when accounts are disabled.
When operating system accounts are disabled, user accessibility is affected. Accounts are utilized for identifying individual operating system users or for identifying the operating system processe...Rule Medium Severity -
The operating system must notify system administrators and ISSOs when accounts are removed.
When operating system accounts are removed, user accessibility is affected. Accounts are utilized for identifying individual operating system users or for identifying the operating system processes...Rule Medium Severity -
The operating system must use cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of audit tools.
Protecting the integrity of the tools used for auditing purposes is a critical step toward ensuring the integrity of audit information. Audit information includes all information (e.g., audit recor...Rule High Severity -
The operating system must automatically terminate a user session after inactivity time-outs have expired or at shutdown.
Automatic session termination addresses the termination of user-initiated logical sessions in contrast to the termination of network connections that are associated with communications sessions (i....Rule Medium Severity -
The operating system must provide a logoff capability for user-initiated communications sessions when requiring user access authentication.
If a user cannot explicitly end an operating system session, the session may remain open and be exploited by an attacker; this is referred to as a zombie session. Information resources to which us...Rule Medium Severity -
The operating system must control remote access methods.
Remote access services, such as those providing remote access to network devices and information systems, which lack automated control capabilities, increase risk and make remote user access manage...Rule Medium Severity -
The operating system must protect wireless access to and from the system using encryption.
Allowing devices and users to connect to or from the system without first authenticating them allows untrusted access and can lead to a compromise or attack. Since wireless communications can be in...Rule Medium Severity -
The operating system must notify system administrators (SAs) and information system security officers (ISSOs) of account enabling actions.
Once an attacker establishes access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to enable an exis...Rule Medium Severity -
The operating system must allow operating system admins to pass information to any other operating system admin or user.
Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is based on the notion that individual users are "owners" of objects and therefore have discretion over who should be authorized to access the object and in which...Rule Medium Severity

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
