1.013 - System information backups are not created, updated, and protected according to DISA requirements.

Information

Recovery of a damaged or compromised system in a timely basis is difficult without a system information backup. A system backup will usually include sensitive information such as user accounts that could be used in an attack. As a valuable system resource, the system backup should be protected and stored in a physically secure location.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Implement data backup procedures that comply with DoD requirements.
