ISEC7 Sphere Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The ISEC7 SPHERE must initiate a session lock after a 15-minute period of inactivity.
A session time-out lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system, but does not log out because of the tempora...Rule Medium Severity -
The ISEC7 SPHERE must display the Standard Mandatory DOD Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the ISEC7 SPHERE.
Display of the DOD-approved use notification before granting access to the application ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive ...Rule Medium Severity -
The ISEC7 SPHERE must alert the information system security officer (ISSO) and system administrator (SA) (at a minimum) in the event of an audit processing failure.
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an ...Rule Medium Severity -
When using PKI-based authentication for user access, the ISEC7 SPHERE must validate certificates by constructing a certification path (which includes status information) to an accepted trust anchor.
Without path validation, an informed trust decision by the relying party cannot be made when presented with any certificate not already explicitly trusted. To meet this requirement, the information...Rule Medium Severity -
The ISEC7 SPHERE must be configured to leverage the enterprise directory service accounts and groups for ISEC7 SPHERE server admin identification and authentication.
A comprehensive account management process that includes automation helps to ensure the accounts designated as requiring attention are consistently and promptly addressed. If an attacker compromise...Rule Medium Severity -
The ISEC7 SPHERE must use a FIPS-validated cryptographic module to provision digital signatures.
Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. FIPS 140-2 precludes the use of invalidated cryptograph...Rule Medium Severity -
The ISEC7 SPHERE must use a FIPS 140-2-validated cryptographic module to implement encryption services for unclassified information requiring confidentiality, generate cryptographic hashes, and to 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.
FIPS 140-2 precludes the use of invalidated cryptography for the cryptographic protection of sensitive or valuable data within Federal systems. Unvalidated cryptography is viewed by NIST as providi...Rule Medium Severity -
The ISEC7 SPHERE must configure Enable HTTPS to use HTTP over SSL in Apache Tomcat.
Without protection of the transmitted information, confidentiality and integrity may be compromised since unprotected communications can be intercepted and either read or altered. This requiremen...Rule Medium Severity -
The Apache Tomcat shutdown port must be disabled.
Tomcat uses a port (defaults to 8005) as a shutdown port. Someone could Telnet to the machine using this port and send the default command SHUTDOWN. Tomcat and all web apps would shut down in that ...Rule Medium Severity -
Tomcat SSL must be restricted except for ISEC7 SPHERE tasks.
Restricting the use of SSL helps ensure only authorized users and processes have access to Tomcat Web apps and reduces the attack surface of the ISEC7 EMM Suite. Without protection of the transmitt...Rule Medium 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.
