Guides setting of default permissions to the minimum required level.
Defines roles, responsibilities, and access rules for configuration management activities, making improper access to configuration resources harder to exploit.
Baseline includes documented access control settings that are reviewed and maintained, reducing the ability to exploit improper access control.
Requiring the most restrictive settings instead of defaults prevents incorrect default permissions on resources.
Explicitly requires protecting the configuration management plan from unauthorized disclosure and modification.
The policy defines and enforces restrictions on physical access to resources, directly reducing improper access control.
Tailoring explicitly overrides or scopes default permission assignments in the baseline to match the system's actual risk and operational needs.
