Tanium 7.x Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The Tanium application must be configured to send audit records from multiple components within the system to a central location for review and analysis.
Successful incident response and auditing relies on timely, accurate system information and analysis to allow the organization to identify and respond to potential incidents in a proficient manner....Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application must uniquely identify and authenticate nonorganizational users (or processes acting on behalf of nonorganizational users).
Lack of authentication and identification enables nonorganizational users to gain access to the application or possibly other information systems and provides an opportunity for intruders to compro...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application must separate user functionality (including user interface services) from information system management functionality.
Application management functionality includes functions necessary for administration and requires privileged user access. Allowing nonprivileged users to access application management functionality...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application must manage bandwidth throttles to limit the effects of information flooding types of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
DoS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot accomplish its mission or must operate at degraded capacity. In the case...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application must provide an immediate real-time alert to the system administrator and information system security officer, at a minimum, of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.
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 a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impe...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application must prohibit user installation of software without explicit privileged status.
Allowing regular users to install software, without explicit privileges, creates the risk that untested or potentially malicious software will be installed on the system. Explicit privileges (escal...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application must electronically verify Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials.
The use of PIV credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access. DoD has mandated the use of the CAC to support identity management and personal authentication f...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application must accept Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials from other federal agencies.
Access may be denied to authorized users if federal agency PIV credentials are not accepted. PIV credentials are issued by federal agencies and conform to FIPS Publication 201 and supporting guid...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application must install security-relevant software updates within the time period directed by an authoritative source (e.g., IAVM, CTOs, DTMs, and STIGs).
Security flaws with software applications are discovered daily. Vendors are constantly updating and patching their products to address newly discovered security vulnerabilities. Organizations (incl...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium endpoint must have the Tanium Server's pki.db in its installation.
Without cryptographic integrity protections in the Tanium Client, information could be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Cryptographic mechanisms used for protecting the integrity o...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.
