Configuration settings are the set of parameters that can be changed that affect the security posture and/or functionality of the system. Security-related parameters are those parameters impacting the security state of the application, including the parameters required to satisfy other security control requirements. To ensure the server configuration can be validated or reconfigured in the event of a security related incident, the server configuration must be backed up on a daily basis.
