Remote Access (03.01.12) Remote Access
High-Level Description
Family: Access Control
Framework: NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3
Applicability: Systems processing, storing, or transmitting CUI
Establish usage restrictions, configuration requirements, and connection requirements for each type of allowable remote system access.
Authorize each type of remote system access prior to establishing such connections.
Route remote access to the system through authorized and managed access control points.
Authorize the remote execution of privileged commands and remote access to security-relevant information.
What to Check
How to Test
Step 1: Review System Security Plan
Examine the SSP for Remote Access (03.01.12) implementation description and responsible parties.
Step 2: Assess Implementation
# Verify security controls protecting CUI
# Check access controls, encryption, monitoring as applicable
# For Linux systems:
ls -la /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
grep -r "CUI\|controlled" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
# For cloud:
# Use cloud-audit-mcp tools to assess posture
Step 3: CMMC Assessment Validation
Verify this requirement passes CMMC Level 2 assessment methodology per SP 800-171A Rev 3.
