Assessment objectives

Assessors don’t evaluate the requirement as one sentence; they walk these objectives one by one. Each must be met for the requirement to score.

  1. 3.9.2[a]a policy and/or process for terminating system access authorization and any credentials coincident with personnel actions is established.
  2. 3.9.2[b]system access and credentials are terminated consistent with personnel actions such as termination or transfer.
  3. 3.9.2[c]the system is protected during and after personnel transfer actions.
