Title: Manage nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities
Ownership: Customer
Description: Microsoft recommends that your organization approve and monitor nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities. It is recommended that the use of non-local maintenance and diagnostic tools be consistent with organizational policy and as documented in the security plan for the information system. It is recommended that your organization document in the security plan for the information system, the policies and procedures for the establishment and use of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic connections. We recommend that your organization maintain records for nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities. It is also recommended that your organization establish a process for maintenance personnel authorization and maintain a list of authorized maintenance organizations or personnel. Your organization should consider designating agency personnel with required access authorizations and technical competence to supervise the maintenance activities of personnel who do not possess the required access authorizations. Microsoft recommends that your organization ensure nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic services be performed from an information system that implements a security capability comparable to the capability implemented on the system being serviced. Microsoft also recommends that your organization employ strong authenticators in the establishment of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic sessions. Your organization should also consider implementing cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity and confidentiality of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications. Microsoft also recommends that your organization implement a process to test all applicable nonlocal and maintenance activities for malicious code before being used in the information system. Microsoft recommends that your organization terminate all sessions and network connections when non-local maintenance is completed.
Requirements: The customer is responsible for implementing this recommendation.

Employs strong authenticators in the establishment of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic sessions; d. Maintains records for nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities; and e. Terminates session and network connections when nonlocal maintenance is completed. Supplemental Guidance: Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are those activities conducted by individuals communicating through a network, either an external network (e.g., the Internet) or an internal network. Local maintenance and diagnostic activities are those activities carried out by individuals physically present at the information system or information system component and not communicating across a network connection. Authentication techniques used in the establishment of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic sessions reflect the network access requirements in IA-2. Typically, strong authentication requires authenticators that are resistant to replay attacks and employ multifactor authentication. Strong authenticators include, for example, PKI where certificates are stored on a token protected by a password, passphrase, or biometric. Enforcing requirements in MA-4 is accomplished in part by other controls. Related controls: AC-2, AC-3, AC-6, AC-17, AU-2, AU-3, IA-2, IA-4, IA-5, IA-8, MA-2, MA-5, MP-6, PL-2, SC-7, SC-10, SC-17.
