Tri-Lab Operating System Stack (TOSS) 4 Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The TOSS operating system must implement DoD-approved TLS encryption in the GnuTLS package.
Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption is a required security setting as a numbe...Rule Medium Severity -
TOSS must, for networked systems, compare internal information system clocks at least every 24 hours with a server which is synchronized to one of the redundant United States Naval Observatory (USNO) time servers, or a time server designated for the appropriate DOD network (NIPRNet/SIPRNet), and/or the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the correct time that a particular event occurred on a system is critical when ...Rule Medium Severity -
The TOSS file integrity tool must notify the system administrator when changes to the baseline configuration or anomalies in the operation of any security functions are discovered within an organizationally defined frequency.
Unauthorized changes to the baseline configuration could make the system vulnerable to various attacks or allow unauthorized access to the operating system. Changes to operating system configuratio...Rule Medium Severity -
All TOSS networked systems must have and implement SSH to protect the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted and received information, as well as information during preparation for transmission.
Without protection of the transmitted information, confidentiality and integrity may be compromised because unprotected communications can be intercepted and either read or altered. This requireme...Rule Medium Severity -
The debug-shell systemd service must be disabled on TOSS.
The debug-shell requires no authentication and provides root privileges to anyone who has physical access to the machine. While this feature is disabled by default, masking it adds an additional la...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.
