What an assessor checks
NIST SP 800-171A breaks 3.1.14 into 2 objectives. Every one has to be met for the requirement to be met; a partial answer scores as not implemented.
- [a]Determine if managed access control points are identified and implemented.
- [b]Determine if remote access is routed through managed network access control points.
- Examine
- [SELECT FROM: Access control policy; procedures addressing remote access to the system; security plan; system design documentation; list of all managed network access control points; system configuration settings and associated documentation; system audit logs and records; other relevant documents or records].
- Interview
- [SELECT FROM: System or network administrators; personnel with information security responsibilities].
- Test
- [SELECT FROM: Mechanisms routing all remote accesses through managed network access control points].
If it is open: POA&M eligibility
May be carried on a Level 2 POA&M · 1 point deducted
A 1-point requirement outside the six named exclusions - eligible to carry, and NOT MET until a closeout assessment confirms it.
A POA&M is only permitted at a score of 88 or above, and closes in one 180-day window. Check a full gap list or compute your score.
