Unified Endpoint Management Server Security Requirements Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
Before establishing a connection to any endpoint device being managed, the UEM server must establish a trusted path between the server and endpoint that provides assured identification of the end point using a bidirectional authentication mechanism configured with a FIPS-validated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher block algorithm to authenticate with the device.
Without device-to-device authentication, communications with malicious devices may be established. Bidirectional authentication provides stronger safeguards to validate the identity of other device...Rule High Severity -
The UEM server must configure web management tools with FIPS-validated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher block algorithm to protect the confidentiality of maintenance and diagnostic communications for nonlocal maintenance sessions.
Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are act...Rule High Severity -
The UEM server must only allow the use of DoD PKI established certificate authorities for verification of the establishment of protected sessions.
Untrusted Certificate Authorities (CA) can issue certificates, but they may be issued by organizations or individuals that seek to compromise DoD systems or by organizations with insufficient secur...Rule Medium Severity -
The UEM server must connect to [assignment: [list of applications]] and managed mobile devices with an authenticated and secure (encrypted) connection to protect the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information.
Applications may include the following: update server, database, and enterprise directory service. Without protection of the transmitted information, confidentiality and integrity may be compromise...Rule High Severity -
The UEM server must be configured with the periodicity of the following commands to the agent of six hours or less: - query connectivity status - query the current version of the managed device firmware/software - query the current version of installed mobile applications - read audit logs kept by the managed device.
Without verification, security functions may not operate correctly and this failure may go unnoticed. Security function is defined as the hardware, software, and/or firmware of the information sy...Rule Medium Severity -
The UEM server must run a suite of self-tests during initial start-up (power on) to demonstrate correct operation of the server.
Without verification, security functions may not operate correctly and this failure may go unnoticed. Security function is defined as the hardware, software, and/or firmware of the information sy...Rule Medium Severity -
The UEM server must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify security objects occur.
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...Rule Medium Severity -
The UEM server must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to delete security objects occur.
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...Rule Medium Severity -
The UEM server must generate audit records showing starting and ending time for user access to the system.
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...Rule Medium Severity -
The UEM server must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful accesses to objects occur.
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...Rule Medium Severity -
The UEM server must be configured to implement FIPS 140-2 mode for all server and agent encryption.
Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. Remote access is access to DoD non-public information...Rule High Severity -
The UEM server must authenticate endpoint devices (servers) before establishing a local, remote, and/or network connection using bidirectional authentication that is cryptographically based.
Without authenticating devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. Bidirectional authentication provides stronger safeguards to validate the...Rule Medium Severity -
The UEM server must validate certificates used for Transport Layer Security (TLS) functions by performing RFC 5280-compliant certification path validation.
A certificate's certification path is the path from the end entity certificate to a trusted root certification authority (CA). Certification path validation is necessary for a relying party to make...Rule Medium Severity -
The UEM server must sign policies and policy updates using a private key associated with [selection: an X509 certificate, a public key provisioned to the agent trusted by the agent] for policy verification.
It is critical that the UEM server sign all policy updates with validated certificate or private keys. Otherwise, there is no assurance that a malicious actor has not inserted itself in the process...Rule High 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.
