GROUP ID:V-224929
RULE ID:SV-224929r991589

A system that does not require authentication when resuming from sleep may provide access to unauthorized users. Authentication must always be required when accessing a system. This setting ensures users are prompted for a password when the system wakes from sleep (on battery).

Solution

Configure the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> System >> Power Management >> Sleep Settings >> 'Require a password when a computer wakes (on battery)'

to 'Enabled'.
