Discussion

Without the use of PKI systems to manage digital certificates, the operating system or other system components may be unable to securely communicate on a network or reliably verify the identity of a user via digital signatures.

Check Content

The operator will ensure that a DoW-approved PKI system is installed, configured, and properly operating. Ask the operator to document the PKI software installation and configuration.

If the operator is not able to provide a documented configuration for an installed PKI system or if the PKI system is not properly configured, maintained, or used, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Verify a DoW-approved PKI software is installed and operating continuously.
