Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SharePoint must use replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.

    An authentication process resists replay attacks if it is impractical to achieve a successful authentication by recording and replaying a previous authentication message. Techniques used to addres...

  • SharePoint must implement required cryptographic protections using cryptographic modules complying with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance.

    Certain encryption types are no longer considered secure. This setting configures a minimum encryption type for SharePoint. Different versions of the Windows Server OS and versions of SharePoint wi...

    Group
  • SharePoint must ensure authentication of both client and server during the entire session. An example of this is SSL Mutual Authentication.

    This control focuses on communications protection at the session, versus packet level. At the application layer, session IDs are tokens generated by web applications to uniquely identify an applic...

  • SharePoint must terminate user sessions upon user logoff, and when idle time limit is exceeded.

    This requirement focuses on communications protection at the application session, versus network packet level. Session IDs are tokens generated by web applications to uniquely identify an applicat...

  • SharePoint must implement an information system isolation boundary that minimizes the number of nonsecurity functions included within the boundary containing security functions.

    The information system isolates security functions from nonsecurity functions by means of an isolation boundary (implemented via partitions and domains) controlling access to and protecting the int...

    Group
  • SharePoint must implement security functions as a layered structure minimizing interactions between layers of the design and avoiding any dependence by lower layers on the functionality or correctness of higher layers.

    The information system isolates security functions from nonsecurity functions by means of an isolation boundary (implemented via partitions and domains) controlling access to, and protecting the in...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000440

    Group
  • SharePoint must employ cryptographic mechanisms preventing the unauthorized disclosure of information during transmission, unless the transmitted data is otherwise protected by alternative physical measures.

    Preventing the disclosure of transmitted information requires that applications take measures to employ some form of cryptographic mechanism in order to protect the information during transmission....

  • SRG-APP-000340

    Group
  • SharePoint must prevent non-privileged users from circumventing malicious code protection capabilities.

    Malicious code protection software must be protected to prevent a non-privileged user or malicious piece of software from disabling the protection mechanism. A common tactic of malware is to identi...

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.
