Information Security (INFOSEC) - Secure Room Storage Standards - Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Failure to meet standards for maintenance and validation of structural integrity of the physical perimeter surrounding a secure room (AKA: collateral classified open storage area) IAW DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 3, could result in the undetected loss or compromise of classified material. Using a physical intrusion detection system enables immediate detection of attempted and/or actual intrusion into a secure room space. This is often the best supplemental protective measure (vice using 4-hour random checks) due to providing capability for immediate detection, and for immediate response to assess and counter the threat to the secure room space. Use of 4-hour checks may be adequate if supported by a risk assessment, but will not provide the immediate detection and response capability of a properly installed IDS. It is required that a risk assessment be conducted to determine which of these two intrusion detection methods (use of IDS OR 4-hour random checks) is appropriate for any particular location.

Remediation - Manual Procedure
1. All secure rooms (AKA: collateral classified open storage areas) that afford access to classified SIPRNet equipment (servers, routers, switches, comm equipment, work stations, DASD...) must be protected by an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) unless continuously occupied.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Random checks not exceeding 4-hours are an allowable alternative to IDS ONLY if supported by a valid risk assessment and security-in-depth.
Random checks and risk analysis are each covered as separate requirements elsewhere in this document. This particular requirement for IDS is Not Applicable (NA) if random checks are properly conducted and are supported by the risk analysis and security-in-depth approved by the senior agency (security) official in writing.
