What an assessor checks

NIST SP 800-171A breaks 3.13.14 into 2 objectives. Every one has to be met for the requirement to be met; a partial answer scores as not implemented.

  1. [a]Determine if use of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies is controlled.
  2. [b]Determine if use of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies is monitored.
Examine
[SELECT FROM: System and communications protection policy; procedures addressing VoIP; VoIP usage restrictions; VoIP implementation guidance; security plan; system design documentation; system configuration settings and associated documentation; system monitoring records; system audit logs and records; other relevant documents or records].
Interview
[SELECT FROM: System or network administrators; personnel with information security responsibilities; personnel with responsibilities for managing VoIP].
Test
[SELECT FROM: Organizational process for authorizing, monitoring, and controlling VoIP; mechanisms supporting or implementing authorizing, monitoring, and controlling VoIP].

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.
