Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SRG-OS-000478-GPOS-00223

    Group
  • Windows Server 2019 must be configured to use FIPS-compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing.

    This setting ensures the system uses algorithms that are FIPS-compliant for encryption, hashing, and signing. FIPS-compliant algorithms meet specific standards established by the U.S. Government an...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000479-GPOS-00224

    Group
  • Windows Server 2019 must, at a minimum, offload audit records of interconnected systems in real time and offload standalone or nondomain-joined systems weekly.

    Protection of log data includes ensuring the log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Audit information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • Windows Server 2019 users with Administrative privileges must have separate accounts for administrative duties and normal operational tasks.

    Using a privileged account to perform routine functions makes the computer vulnerable to malicious software inadvertently introduced during a session that has been granted full privileges.
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • Windows Server 2019 members of the Backup Operators group must have separate accounts for backup duties and normal operational tasks.

    Backup Operators are able to read and write to any file in the system, regardless of the rights assigned to it. Backup and restore rights permit users to circumvent the file access restrictions pre...

    Group
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • Windows Server 2019 domain-joined systems must have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enabled and ready for use.

    Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to protect data that could be used in credential theft attacks if compromised. A number of system requirements must be met in order for Credentia...
    Rule Medium Severity

    Group
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • Windows Server 2019 must use an anti-virus program.

    Malicious software can establish a base on individual desktops and servers. Employing an automated mechanism to detect this type of software will aid in elimination of the software from the operati...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • Windows Server 2019 must have software certificate installation files removed.

    Use of software certificates and their accompanying installation files for end users to access resources is less secure than the use of hardware-based certificates.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • Windows Server 2019 FTP servers must be configured to prevent anonymous logons.

    The FTP service allows remote users to access shared files and directories. Allowing anonymous FTP connections makes user auditing difficult. Using accounts that have administrator privileges to l...

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.
