  • SharePoint must employ FIPS-validated cryptography to protect unclassified information when such information must be separated from individuals who have the necessary clearances yet lack the necessary access approvals.

    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...
    Rule High Severity
  • SharePoint must maintain the confidentiality of information during aggregation, packaging, and transformation in preparation for transmission. When transmitting data, applications need to leverage transmission protection mechanisms such as TLS, SSL VPNs, or IPSec.

    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....
