An automated method of asset discovery is used at least fortnightly to support detection of assets for subsequent vulnerability scanning. A vulnerability scanner with an up-to-date vulnerability database is used. The scanner runs at least daily for online services and at least weekly for office productivity suites, web browsers and their extensions, email clients, PDF software and security products. Patches or vendor mitigations for online services are applied within 48 hours when critical or working exploits exist, otherwise within two weeks. Patches for office productivity suites, web browsers and their extensions, email clients, PDF software and security products are applied within two weeks of release. Online services that are no longer supported by vendors are removed. Office productivity suites, web browsers and their extensions, email clients, PDF software, Adobe Flash Player, and security products that are no longer supported by vendors are removed.
ACSC Essential Eight E8-PATCHAPP-ML1 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of ACSC Essential Eight your existing evidence covers. Hold FedRAMP Moderate and 18 of 24 ACSC Essential Eight controls already carry evidence.
Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 0 were rejected on the FedRAMP Moderate pair alone.
The graph holds this control, the 0 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
