Group -
The Apache web server must set an inactive timeout for sessions.
Leaving sessions open indefinitely is a major security risk. An attacker can easily use an already authenticated session to access the hosted application as the previously authenticated user. By cl...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
The Apache web server must restrict inbound connections from nonsecure zones.
Remote access to the Apache web server is any access that communicates through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access can be used to access hosted applications or to perfor...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000316-WSR-000170
Group -
The Apache web server must be configured to immediately disconnect or disable remote access to the hosted applications.
During an attack on the Apache web server or any of the hosted applications, the System Administrator (SA) may need to disconnect or disable access by users to stop the attack. The Apache web serv...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000340-WSR-000029
Group -
Non-privileged accounts on the hosting system must only access Apache web server security-relevant information and functions through a distinct administrative account.
By separating Apache web server security functions from non-privileged users, roles can be developed that can then be used to administer the Apache web server. Forcing users to change from a non-pr...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000357-WSR-000150
Group -
The Apache web server must use a logging mechanism that is configured to allocate log record storage capacity large enough to accommodate the logging requirements of the Apache web server.
To make certain that the logging mechanism used by the web server has sufficient storage capacity in which to write the logs, the logging mechanism needs to be able to allocate log record storage c...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000358-WSR-000063
Group -
The Apache web server must not impede the ability to write specified log record content to an audit log server.
Writing events to a centralized management audit system offers many benefits to the enterprise over having dispersed logs. Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency i...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000358-WSR-000163
Group -
The Apache web server must be configured to integrate with an organizations security infrastructure.
A web server will typically use logging mechanisms for maintaining a historical log of activity that occurs within a hosted application. This information can then be used for diagnostic purposes, f...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000374-WSR-000172
Group -
The Apache web server must generate log records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) which are stamped at a minimum granularity of one second.
If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis across multiple devices and log records. Time stamps generated by th...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000383-WSR-000175
Group -
The Apache web server must prohibit or restrict the use of nonsecure or unnecessary ports, protocols, modules, and/or services.
Web servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that use TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production system. The Ap...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000435-WSR-000147
Group -
The Apache web server must be protected from being stopped by a non-privileged user.
An attacker has at least two reasons to stop a web server. The first is to cause a denial of service (DoS), and the second is to put in place changes the attacker made to the web server configurati...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.
