Discussion

The banner must be acknowledged by the user prior to allowing the user access to the application. This provides assurance that the user has seen the message and accepted the conditions for access. If the consent banner is not acknowledged by the user, DoW will not be in compliance with system use notifications required by law. To establish acceptance of the application usage policy, a click-through banner at application logon is required. The application must prevent further activity until the user executes a positive action to manifest agreement by clicking on a box indicating "OK".

Check Content

Navigate to the logon banner configuration function within the application.

Verify the application retains the Standard Mandatory DoW Notice and Consent Banner on the screen until users acknowledge the usage conditions and take explicit actions to log on for further access. Otherwise, this is a finding.
