Compliance
The following 4 compliance controls are associated with this Policy definition 'Windows machines should meet requirements for 'Security Options - User Account Control'' (492a29ed-d143-4f03-b6a4-705ce081b463)
Control Domain Control Name MetadataId Category Title Owner Requirements Description Info Policy#
CMMC_L3 AC.2.008 CMMC_L3_AC.2.008 CMMC L3 AC.2.008 Access Control Use non-privileged accounts or roles when accessing nonsecurity functions. Shared Microsoft and the customer share responsibilities for implementing this requirement. This requirement limits exposure when operating from within privileged accounts or roles. The inclusion of roles addresses situations where organizations implement access control policies such as role-based access control and where a change of role provides the same degree of assurance in the change of access authorizations for the user and all processes acting on behalf of the user as would be provided by a change between a privileged and non-privileged account. link 2
CMMC_L3 AC.3.021 CMMC_L3_AC.3.021 CMMC L3 AC.3.021 Access Control Authorize remote execution of privileged commands and remote access to security-relevant information. Shared Microsoft and the customer share responsibilities for implementing this requirement. A privileged command is a human-initiated (interactively or via a process operating on behalf of the human) command executed on a system involving the control, monitoring, or administration of the system including security functions and associated security-relevant information. Securityrelevant information is any information within the system that can potentially impact the operation of security functions or the provision of security services in a manner that could result in failure to enforce the system security policy or maintain isolation of code and data. Privileged commands give individuals the ability to execute sensitive, security-critical, or security-relevant system functions. Controlling such access from remote locations helps to ensure that unauthorized individuals are not able to execute such commands freely with the potential to do serious or catastrophic damage to organizational systems. Note that the ability to affect the integrity of the system is considered security-relevant as that could enable the means to by-pass security functions although not directly impacting the function itself. link 10
CMMC_L3 CM.2.063 CMMC_L3_CM.2.063 CMMC L3 CM.2.063 Configuration Management Control and monitor user-installed software. Shared Microsoft and the customer share responsibilities for implementing this requirement. Users can install software in organizational systems if provided the necessary privileges. To maintain control over the software installed, organizations identify permitted and prohibited actions regarding software installation through policies. Permitted software installations include updates and security patches to existing software and applications from organization-approved “app stores.” Prohibited software installations may include software with unknown or suspect pedigrees or software that organizations consider potentially malicious. The policies organizations select governing user-installed software may be organization-developed or provided by some external entity. Policy enforcement methods include procedural methods, automated methods, or both. link 2
