title: Minimization of configuration
description: >-
The features configured at the level of launched services
should be limited to the strict minimum.
rationale: >-
Minimization of configuration helps to reduce attack surface.
automated: no
notes: >-
This is individual depending on the system workload
therefore needs to be audited manually.

Ensure authentication methods are functional to prevent
unauthorized access to the system.

title: The product must provide automated mechanisms for supporting account management functions.
status: does not meet
fixtext: There is no fixtext.
check: There is no check.
mitigation: |-
Mitigate with third-party software.
Although the listed mitigation is supporting the security function, it is not sufficient to reduce the residual risk of this requirement.
description:
The operating system must provide automated mechanisms for supporting account management functions.
rationale:
Enterprise environments make account management challenging and complex.
A manual process for account management functions adds the risk of a potential oversight or other errors.
status_justification:
Mitigate with third-party software.
