Domain Name System (DNS) Security Requirements Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The DNS server implementation must prevent the installation of organization-defined software and firmware components without verification that the component has been digitally signed using a certificate that is recognized and approved by the organization.

    <VulnDiscussion>Software and firmware components prevented from installation unless signed with recognized and approved certificates include ...

  • The DNS server implementation must require users to be individually authenticated before granting access to the shared accounts or resources.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Individual authentication prior to shared group authentication mitigates the risk of using group accounts or authenticators.&...

  • The DNS server implementation must implement multifactor authentication for local; network; and/or remote access to privileged accounts; and/or nonprivileged accounts such that one of the factors is provided by a device separate from the system gaining access.

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.
