COMSEC Account Management - Program Management and Standards Compliance
Low Severity
Recipients of NSA or Service COMSEC accounts are responsible to properly maintain the accounts. Procedures covering security, transport, handling, etc., of COMSEC must be developed to supplement regulatory guidelines. NSA or sponsoring Services of the COMSEC accounts maintain oversight by conducting required inspections. If COMSEC accounts are not properly maintained and findings are noted during an inspection, they must be addressed properly and promptly. If this is not done, the integrity of COMSEC items may be adversely impacted, resulting in the loss or compromise of COMSEC equipment or key material.

CS-04.01.04
1 Rule
Protected Distribution System (PDS) Construction - Buried PDS Carrier
High Severity
Buried carriers are normally used to extend a PDS between CAAs that are located in different buildings. As with other Category 2 PDS the unencrypted data cables must be installed in a carrier. A PDS that is not constructed, configured and physically secured as required could result in the undetected interception of classified information. This is especially true for unencrypted cables running through an outdoor environment where physical barriers protecting the environment are often easily breeched. REFERENCES: CJCSI 6510.01F, INFORMATION ASSURANCE (IA) AND SUPPORT TO COMPUTER NETWORK DEFENSE (CND), Enclosure C, paragraph 35.c.

CS-04.01.05
1 Rule
Protected Distribution System (PDS) Construction - External Suspended PDS
High Severity
Suspended carriers (Exterior PDS) are a Category 2 PDS option used to extend a PDS between Controlled Access Areas (CAAs) that are located in different buildings. Suspended carriers may be used for short runs when it is not practical to bury the PDS between buildings (e.g., between the 3rd floors of adjacent buildings). Unlike other Category 2 PDS the unencrypted data cables are not required to be installed in a carrier. Proper elevation and ease of visibility as well as minimum daily visual inspections of suspended carriers is of paramount importance. A PDS that is not configured, physically secured and inspected as required could result in the undetected interception of classified information. This is especially true for unencrypted cables running through an outdoor environment where physical barriers protecting the environment are often easily breeched. REFERENCES: CJCSI 6510.01F, INFORMATION ASSURANCE (IA) AND SUPPORT TO COMPUTER NETWORK DEFENSE (CND), Enclosure C, paragraph 35.c.

CS-04.01.06
1 Rule
Protected Distribution System (PDS) Construction - Continuously Viewed Carrier
High Severity
A PDS that is not constructed and configured as required could result in the undetected interception of classified information. A continuously viewed PDS may not be in a physically hardened carrier and the primary means of protection is continuous observation and control of the unencrypted transmission line. If not maintained under continuous observation an attacker (insider or external) could have an opportunity to tap and intercept unencrypted communications on the exposed cable. REFERENCES: CJCSI 6510.01F, INFORMATION ASSURANCE (IA) AND SUPPORT TO COMPUTER NETWORK DEFENSE (CND), Enclosure C, paragraph 35.c. DoD 5220.22-M (NISPOM), Incorporating Change 2, 18 May 2016 Chapter 5, Section 4, paragraphs 5-402.c. and 5-403 DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 3, 24 February 2012, SUBJECT: DoD Information Security Program: Protection of Classified Information, Encl 4, para 3.b. and 4.a.

CS-04.01.07
1 Rule
Protected Distribution System (PDS) Construction - Tactical Environment Application
High Severity
A PDS that is not constructed and configured as required could result in the undetected interception of classified information. Within mobile tactical situations a hardened carrier is not possible and therefore the unencrypted SIPRNet cable must be maintained within the confines of the tactical encampment with the cable under continuous observation and control to prevent exploitation by enemy forces. In theaters of operation where fixed facilities are well established, standard PDS applications must be employed unless a risk assessment is conducted to determine the vulnerabilities and risks associated with using unencrypted cable that is not in a hardened carrier.

CS-04.01.08
1 Rule
Protected Distribution System (PDS) Construction - Alarmed Carrier
High Severity
A PDS that is not constructed and configured as required could result in the covert or undetected interception of classified information. An Alarmed Carrier is one of five types of Category 2 PDS. It is the most suitable alternative to Hardened and Continuously Viewed PDS (internal facility PDS options), when the unencrypted data transmission line is concealed above suspended ceilings, below raised floors, between walls or in any situation where the line is not visible for inspection. In lieu of daily visual inspections the functionality of the PDS alarm must be tested at least weekly - as based on guidance in the CNSSI 7003.

Foreign National (FN) Physical Access Control - Areas Containing US Only Information Systems Workstations/Monitor Screens, Equipment, Media or Documents
High Severity
Physically co-locating REL Partners or other FN - who have limited or no access to the SIPRNet or other US Classified systems - near US personnel in a collateral classified (Secret or higher) open storage area or in a Secret or higher Controlled Access Area (CAA) that processes classified material is permissible for operational efficiency and coordination. Failure to limit and control physical access to information visible on system monitor screens, information processing equipment containing classified data, removable storage media and printed documents is especially important in mixed US/FN environments. Inadequate access and procedural controls can result in FN personnel having unauthorized access to classified materials and data, which can result in the loss or compromise of classified information, including NOFORN information. Appropriate but simple physical and procedural security measures must be put in place to ensure the FN partners do not have unauthorized access to information not approved for release to them. The primary control measure is to either keep US Only classified documents, information systems equipment and/ or associated removable storage media under continuous observation and control of a cleared US employee or place such items in an approved safe when unattended. Additionally, escorting visitors AND all FN employees/personnel into any area where there is US Only classified processing, documents, media, equipment or materials is not only a prudent security measure but an absolute requirement to prevent both intentional (insider threat) or unintentional (inadvertent) unauthorized exposure to classified materials and information.

Medium Severity
Failure to limit access for Foreign Nationals to classified information can result in the loss or compromise of NOFORN information. Documented local policies and procedures concerning what information FN employees or partners have access to and what they are excluded from having, what physical access limitations and allowances are in place, how to recognize a FN (badges, uniforms, etc.), steps to take to sanitize a work area before a FN can access the area, etc. are an essential part of controlling FN access. Just as important as development of policy and procedure is the training/familiarization of both employees and assigned FNs with the rules of interaction.

Information Assurance - Network Connections - Wall Jack Security on Classified Networks (SIPRNet or other Inspected Classified Network or System) Where Port Authentication Using IEEE 802.1X IS NOT Implemented
High Severity
Following is a summary of the primary requirement to use the IEEE 802.1X authentication protocol to secure SIPRNet ports (AKA: wall jacks) , which is covered in the Network STIG: 802.1X authentication involves three parties: a supplicant, an authenticator, and an authentication server. The supplicant is a client device (such as a laptop) that wishes to attach to the LAN/WLAN. The term 'supplicant' is also used interchangeably to refer to the software running on the client that provides credentials to the authenticator. The authenticator is a network device, such as an Ethernet switch or wireless access point; and the authentication server is typically a host running software supporting the RADIUS and EAP protocols. In some cases, the authentication server software may be running on the authenticator hardware. The authenticator acts like a security guard to a protected network. The supplicant (i.e., client device) is not allowed access through the authenticator to the protected side of the network until the supplicant's identity has been validated and authorized. With 802.1X port-based authentication, the supplicant provides credentials, such as user name/password or digital certificate, to the authenticator, and the authenticator forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification. If the authentication server determines the credentials are valid, the supplicant (client device) is allowed to access resources located on the protected side of the network. The requirements in this Traditional Security STIG rule serve as physical security mitigations for the lack of proper SIPRNet port security using IEEE 802.1X. It is in essence a supplement to the Network STIG and provides the details for required mitigations. Network connections that are not properly protected are highly vulnerable to unauthorized access, resulting in the loss or compromise of classified or sensitive information.

Information Security (INFOSEC) - Secure Room Storage Standards - Interior Motion Detection
High Severity
Failure to meet standards for ensuring that there is 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. Motion detection located interior to secure rooms provides the most complete/overarching coverage of any Intrusion Detection System (IDS) alarm sensor. While most sensors like BMS alarm contacts, glass break detectors, etc. are only able to detect potential intrusion at specific locations, use of motion detection provides a capability to protect large areas with "blanket coverage" generally using fewer sensors. Principles and considerations for "ideal" employment of motion sensors are: - Consolidate critical assets in specific areas versus throughout a large room or facility. For instance rather than having classified servers and equipment in multiple locations in a five-story facility (entirely designated for classified open storage) consolidate classified assets on a single floor or even an area on that floor. That might allow for reducing the space designated as classified open storage (AKA: secure room) and reduce costs and simplify protection of assets. - Conversely some would argue that dispersing assets over a larger area enhances security by not putting all critical assets in one place. This is true to an extent - especially if we are considering redundant assets for COOP / disaster recovery but most often the reason for dispersing classified assets over large comes down to lack of foresight and planning. - Cover avenues of approach in layers so you can detect initial breeches of secured space and subsequent movement within. This approach is actually very good if you have a timely response force available and you are protecting a large facility. - Cover perimeter access points such as doors, windows, and openings greater than 96 sq. inches. Use of point sensors (BMS, vibration, etc., are probably best in these situations but supplementation by motion can be extremely effective. - Cover areas that cannot be directly observed by employees from within or directly outside the protected space. For instance in a secure room/area this might include areas above suspended ceilings, below raised floors, behind major pieces of equipment or other things that cause significant obstruction of visual observation (especially along avenues of approach or along perimeter walls). - Cover large open areas by careful placement of motion detection. Combinations of 360-degree and wall-mounted detectors considering equipment racks, walls, avenues of approach, etc. can effectively cover larger areas with fewer sensors. - Complete coverage of large areas and all avenues of approach is ideal but often funds are limited and sensors cannot be employed to provide blanket coverage. In such instances there are two approaches that can be used: * One is to cover the most critical assets directly (e.g., classified DoDIN servers, routers, DASD and other major IT technology). * Second approach is to conduct an assessment of the space to determine the most effective employment of limited sensors considering both avenues of approach and the actual location of critical assets in the space. NOTE: The second approach can be incorporated under the process of conducting a risk assessment and in conjunction with a determination and approval of security-in-depth countermeasures from the Senior Agency Official (SAO). This risk-based approach is based directly on requirements from the DoD Manual 5200.01, V3 and is in line with the current direction DoD is taking with regard to management of risk.

Vault/Secure Room Storage Standards - IDS Access/Secure Control Units Must be Located within the Secure Room Space
High Severity
Failure to ensure that IDS Access and Secure Control Units used to activate and deactivate alarms (primarily motion detectors) within vaults or secure rooms protecting SIPRNet assets are not located within the confines of the vault or secure room near the primary ingress/egress door could result in the observation of the access/secure code by an unauthorized person. Further the control units would be more exposed with a greater possibility of tampering outside the more highly protected space of a secure room/collateral classified open storage area. This could result in the undetected breach of secure room space and the loss or compromise of classified information or materials.

Information Security (IS) - Continuous Operations Facility: Access Control Monitoring Methods
High Severity
Failure to control door access to a Continuous Operations Facility containing classified SIPRNET assets may result in immediate and potentially undetected access to classified information, with no capability to immediately alert response forces. Ultimately this could result in the undetected loss or compromise of classified material. USE CASE EXPLANATION: A Continuous Operations Facility functions 24/7 and contains classified SIPRNet equipment and/or media. It often does not meet all the physical and/or procedural requirements of a vault or secure room (AKA: collateral classified open storage area) and the classified equipment and/or media may not be stored in an approved safe when not in use. Examples of such facilities are Emergency Operations Centers (EOC), Information System Monitoring Centers, Trouble Desk Centers, etc. All standards for access control monitoring for Continuous Operations Facilities are found in the DoD Manual 5200.01, V3 and this STIG Requirement/Rule provides additional clarification and implementation standards for all Continuous Operations Facilities containing SIPRNet assets. Continuous Operations Facilities are not routinely closed and secured after normal business hours and reopened at the beginning of normal workdays. A CONTINUOUS OPERATIONS FACILITY MUST BE CONTINUOUSLY OCCUPIED at all times, OR IT MUST MEET ALL PHYSICAL STRUCTURAL AND PROCEDURAL STANDARDS FOR A SECURE ROOM AND BE SECURED (*using an approved FF-L-2740 combination lock) DURING PERIODS WHEN IT IS NOT OCCUPIED. It is not necessary to activate the supplemental controls (IDS or 4-hour checks) when securing the facility using the FF-L-2740 lock during working hours. However, this must be done if the facility is formally closed at any time and will include End-of-Day (EOD) checks. A "facility" can be a single room or a larger contiguous area, often (but not always) without Federal Specification FF-L-2740 combination locks on the primary access door. Continuous Operations area access control procedures must meet the requirements herein even where the surrounding area is continuously occupied. Continuous Operations (again - continuous occupancy) minimizes or eliminates the need for/use of certain security measures such as FF-L-2740 combination locks, standard door locks, IDS, 4-hour guard checks, etc. Where there is a Continuous Operations Facility there should be demonstrated mission need for continuous occupation of the "specific" room or area containing the classified SIPRNet assets. A justification that the surrounding building or facility is continuously occupied is not acceptable. If this is observed, reviewers should consider the possibility that the stated requirement for a Continuous Operations Facility is being used to cover deficiencies with what should legitimately be established as a secure room or vault. In such cases the use of Traditional Security STIG Requirements and applicable physical and procedural standards for vaults and/or secure rooms may be more appropriate, resulting in findings under those Requirements. A Continuous Operations Facility containing classified materials is most appropriate when it is continuously occupied by properly cleared employees (or others with security clearance and a need-to-know) who are capable of controlling or monitoring ingress and egress from within the area. This provides the most legitimate justification for using a Continuous Operations Facility vice using a properly constructed and access controlled vault or secure room (AKA: collateral classified open storage area). Convenience and ease of access is not proper justification for a Continuous Operations Facility. Continuous Operations Facility door control may be accomplished multiple ways. There are five main types of access control methods listed below. One or more of the five methods may apply to any facility. Each access point must comply with one or more of the methods of access control for 24 hours of each operational day. Any deficiency for any facility access point (even for a portion of the day for an access point) will result in a finding under this STIG rule. All Continuous Operations Facilities access points should be checked for proper access control according to the type of access control method(s) implemented. Direct access control monitoring for both occupied and unoccupied Continuous Operations Facilities is conducted by: cleared employees, guards or receptionists located inside the area or directly outside the area. A properly configured Automated Entry Control System (AECS) or continuously monitored Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) are the only options for indirect monitoring of Continuous Operations Facilities. The five basic methods for controlling access to Continuous Operations Facilities are: 1. Method #1: Use of an Automated Entry Control System (AECS) Card Reader with Biometrics or Personal Identification Number (PIN) 2. Method #2: Access Continually Monitored by Occupants (Cleared Employees) of the Continuous Operations Facility - all doors NOT visible 3. Method #3: Access Monitored by Occupants (Cleared Employees) of the Continuous Operations Facility - all doors are visible 4. Method #4: Access Monitored by Employees Directly Outside the Open Storage Space - all doors MUST BE visible 5. Method #5: Access Monitored by Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) reporting to a Central Monitoring Station Staffed 24/7 by cleared Guards or Other cleared Security Professionals - each individual door MUST HAVE a CCTV camera(s) Normally only one method of access control will be applicable to a specific Continuous Operations Facility; however, there may be situations where more than one approved method is being used at a single facility. For instance an Automated Entry Control System (AECS) with card reader and PIN may be used to secure the access door while there are also employees located inside the room who can monitor and control access. In situations where multiple methods are found, reviewers need only choose one of the five to evaluate compliance and its effectiveness of access control to the Continuous Operations Facility. If one of the methods is found to be totally compliant while others in use contain deficiencies, the method that is 100% compliant should be selected for use during the review. In the example just provided, if the room is only occupied by one employee who is monitoring access and during breaks or for other reasons exits the room for periods of time this would cause a significant deficient condition since the access door is not continuously monitored by the employee. Therefore using the AECS as the method to evaluate access control for the Continuous Operations Facility would likely be selected since it appears to be (and for this example we will assume) 100% compliant. There is also a possibility that multiple Continuous Operations Facilities could be found at a particular site location (even in the same building) that are using different methods to control access. Once again, multiple methods of access control from the list of five could be selected for the evaluation, based on the access control methods actually being used for the various 24/7Continuous Operations Facilities. Once the applicable Continuous Operations Facility access control methods that apply to each of the Continuous Operations Facilities at the site are selected, the site must comply with all of the individual checks for the selected method(s). Specific checks for requirements associated with a method of access control are found in the Check Content information field. If there is no Continuous Operations Facility at a particular site this Requirement is Not Applicable (NA) for a review.

Vault/Secure Room Storage Standards - Access Control During Working Hours Using Visual Control OR Automated Entry Control System (AECS) with PIN / Biometrics
High Severity
Failure to properly monitor and control collateral classified open storage area access doors during working hours (while the FF-L-2740 combination lock is not secured) could result in an undetected perimeter breach and limited or no capability to immediately notify response forces. Ultimately this could result in the undetected loss or compromise of classified material. Entrances to secure rooms or areas (and/or vaults that are opened for access) must be under visual control at all times during duty hours to prevent entry by unauthorized personnel . This may be accomplished by several methods (e.g., employee work station, guard, continuously monitored CCTV). An automated entry control system (AECS) may be used to control admittance during working hours instead of visual control, if it meets certain criteria * and if the room or area is continuously occupied by at least one properly cleared person.

If someone were to successfully observe an authorized user's selection of numbers for their PIN at an entrance to a classified storage area or unclassified but sensitive computer room it could result in an unauthorized person being able to use that same PIN to gain access. Where purely electronic (cipher type) locks are used without an access card or badge this could lead to direct access by an unauthorized person. Where coded AECS cards and badges are used the risk is diminished significantly as the coded badge associated with the PIN would need to be lost/stolen and subsequently recovered by someone with unauthorized knowledge of the PIN for them to be able to successfully gain access to the secured area.

Monitor Screens - Disable Access by CAC or Token Removal, or Lock Computer via Ctrl/Alt/Del
High Severity
The DoD Common Access Cards (CAC) a "smart" card, is the standard identification for active-duty military personnel, Selected Reserve, DoD civilian employees, and eligible contractor personnel. It is also the principal card used to enable physical access to buildings and controlled spaces, and it provides access to defense computer networks and systems. The card, which is the property of the U.S. Government, is required to be in the personal custody of the member at all times. System Access Tokens are also used on the SIPRNet and the cards along with a Personal identity Number (PIN) can be used to access classified information on the SIPRNet in lieu of a logon ID and password. CAC and SIPRNet tokens are very important components for providing both physical and logical access control to DISN assets and must therefore be strictly controlled. Physically co-locating REL Partners or other FN - who have limited access to the SIPRNet or other US Classified systems - near US personnel in a collateral classified (Secret or higher) open storage area or in a Secret or higher Controlled Access Area (CAA) that processes classified material is permissible for operational efficiency and coordination. Failure to limit access to information systems is especially important in mixed US/FN environments. This is particularly important on US Only classified terminals when not personally and physically attended by US personnel. The failure to properly disable information workstations and monitor screens when unattended can result in FN personnel having unauthorized access to classified information, which can result in the loss or compromise of classified information, including NOFORN information. Appropriate but simple physical and procedural security measures must be put in place to ensure that unauthorized persons to include FN partners do not have unauthorized access to information not approved for release to them. Control of CACs, SIPRNet tokens and locking of computer work stations when unattended is an important aspect of proper procedural security measure implementation.
