Title: Develop and maintain baseline configurations
Ownership: Customer
Description: Microsoft recommends that your organization document and implement processes for managing and protecting the configuration lifecycle of enterprise systems. It is also recommended that your organization establish baselines to consistently apply configurations for security, as well as implement processes and mechanisms for controlling creation of and changes to configuration baselines produced including the periodic review of changes. Any changes to the baselines are recommended to be appropriately tested, impact determined by analysis, and then incorporated into the standard. Your organization should consider different environments (e.g., test, production, and staging) that are applicable and their parameters. It is recommended that your organization test security configurations in a test environment before implementation as it can help to understand and examine the functional impact on applications. Microsoft recommends that your organization review and update the baseline configuration of the information system when required due to organization-defined circumstances or at the organization-defined frequency. Microsoft also recommends that your organization review and update the baseline configuration as an integral part of information system component installations and upgrades. Your organization should consider retaining previous versions of baseline configurations to support rollback. It is recommended that your organization employ automated mechanisms to maintain an up-to-date, complete, accurate, and readily available baseline configuration of the information system. It is recommended that your organization document any deviations from the baseline configurations. The approved deviations are preferred to be added on a periodic basis into the baseline configuration standard. Your organization is encouraged to document the procedures for securing configurations during development and deployment of systems which may include following: - Defining parameters which describe behavior of automated functions (e.g., disabling and enabling functions, automatic updates, defining network protocols and network interface, access and authentications controls etc.) - Remediating flaws for identified vulnerabilities - Establishing and document location where the secure configuration components physically and logically resides - Establishing use of approved and signed software - Implementing safeguards to prevent against attack - Applying network protections - Maintaining and updating technical specification and design documentation. Microsoft recommends that your organization issue information systems, system components, or devices with organization-defined configurations to individuals traveling to locations that the organization deems to be of significant risk. Your organization can also apply security safeguards to the devices when the individuals return.

FedRAMP_High_R4 CM-2 FedRAMP_High_R4_CM-2 FedRAMP High CM-2 Configuration Management Baseline Configuration Shared n/a The organization develops, documents, and maintains under configuration control, a current baseline configuration of the information system. Supplemental Guidance: This control establishes baseline configurations for information systems and system components including communications and connectivity-related aspects of systems. Baseline configurations are documented, formally reviewed and agreed-upon sets of specifications for information systems or configuration items within those systems. Baseline configurations serve as a basis for future builds, releases, and/or changes to information systems. Baseline configurations include information about information system components (e.g., standard software packages installed on workstations, notebook computers, servers, network components, or mobile devices; current version numbers and patch information on operating systems and applications; and configuration settings/parameters), network topology, and the logical placement of those components within the system architecture. Maintaining baseline configurations requires creating new baselines as organizational information systems change over time. Baseline configurations of information systems reflect the current enterprise architecture. Related controls: CM-3, CM-6, CM-8, CM-9, SA-10, PM-5, PM-7.

FedRAMP_High_R4 CM-2(2) FedRAMP_High_R4_CM-2(2) FedRAMP High CM-2 (2) Configuration Management Automation Support For Accuracy / Currency Shared n/a The organization employs automated mechanisms to maintain an up-to-date, complete, accurate, and readily available baseline configuration of the information system. Supplemental Guidance: Automated mechanisms that help organizations maintain consistent baseline configurations for information systems include, for example, hardware and software inventory tools, configuration management tools, and network management tools. Such tools can be deployed and/or allocated as common controls, at the information system level, or at the operating system or component level (e.g., on workstations, servers, notebook computers, network components, or mobile devices). Tools can be used, for example, to track version numbers on operating system applications, types of software installed, and current patch levels. This control enhancement can be satisfied by the implementation of CM-8 (2) for organizations that choose to combine information system component inventory and baseline configuration activities. Related controls: CM-7, RA-5. link 6
FedRAMP_High_R4 CM-9 FedRAMP_High_R4_CM-9 FedRAMP High CM-9 Configuration Management Configuration Management Plan Shared n/a The organization develops, documents, and implements a configuration management plan for the information system that: a. Addresses roles, responsibilities, and configuration management processes and procedures; b. Establishes a process for identifying configuration items throughout the system development life cycle and for managing the configuration of the configuration items; c. Defines the configuration items for the information system and places the configuration items under configuration management; and d. Protects the configuration management plan from unauthorized disclosure and modification. Supplemental Guidance: Configuration management plans satisfy the requirements in configuration management policies while being tailored to individual information systems. Such plans define detailed processes and procedures for how configuration management is used to support system development life cycle activities at the information system level. Configuration management plans are typically developed during the development/acquisition phase of the system development life cycle. The plans describe how to move changes through change management processes, how to update configuration settings and baselines, how to maintain information system component inventories, how to control development, test, and operational environments, and how to develop, release, and update key documents. Organizations can employ templates to help ensure consistent and timely development and implementation of configuration management plans. Such templates can represent a master configuration management plan for the organization at large with subsets of the plan implemented on a system by system basis. Configuration management approval processes include designation of key management stakeholders responsible for reviewing and approving proposed changes to information systems, and personnel that conduct security impact analyses prior to the implementation of changes to the systems. Configuration items are the information system items (hardware, software, firmware, and documentation) to be configuration-managed. As information systems continue through the system development life cycle, new configuration items may be identified and some existing configuration items may no longer need to be under configuration control.

NIST_SP_800-171_R2_3 .4.1 NIST_SP_800-171_R2_3.4.1 NIST SP 800-171 R2 3.4.1 Configuration Management Establish and maintain baseline configurations and inventories of organizational systems (including hardware, software, firmware, and documentation) throughout the respective system development life cycles. Shared Microsoft and the customer share responsibilities for implementing this requirement. Baseline configurations are documented, formally reviewed, and agreed-upon specifications for systems or configuration items within those systems. Baseline configurations serve as a basis for future builds, releases, and changes to systems. Baseline configurations include information about system components (e.g., standard software packages installed on workstations, notebook computers, servers, network components, or mobile devices; current version numbers and update and patch information on operating systems and applications; and configuration settings and parameters), network topology, and the logical placement of those components within the system architecture. Baseline configurations of systems also reflect the current enterprise architecture. Maintaining effective baseline configurations requires creating new baselines as organizational systems change over time. Baseline configuration maintenance includes reviewing and updating the baseline configuration when changes are made based on security risks and deviations from the established baseline configuration. Organizations can implement centralized system component inventories that include components from multiple organizational systems. In such situations, organizations ensure that the resulting inventories include system-specific information required for proper component accountability (e.g., system association, system owner). Information deemed necessary for effective accountability of system components includes hardware inventory specifications, software license information, software version numbers, component owners, and for networked components or devices, machine names and network addresses. Inventory specifications include manufacturer, device type, model, serial number, and physical location. [SP 800-128] provides guidance on security-focused configuration management. link 31
