The test and development environment must not have access to DoD operational networks.

From Test and Development Zone C Security Technical Implementation Guide

Part of ENTD0210 - Test and development environment has access to DoD operational networks.

Associated with IA controls: ECSC-1

SV-51527r1_rule The test and development environment must not have access to DoD operational networks.

Vulnerability discussion

Systems or devices used for test data that do not meet minimum IA standards for accreditation are a risk to a DoD operational network if allowed to communicate between environments. Data that has not been fully tested and finalized for use in an operational network may cause unintended consequences, such as data loss or corruption. Unvetted data allowed into a DoD operational network from non-IA-compliant machines may also contain malicious code that could be used to steal or damage live data.

Check content

Determine whether there are procedures in place to prohibit non-IA-compliant systems or devices from accessing any DoD operational network. If no procedure is in place to prohibit connection to any DoD operational network by non-IA-compliant systems, this is a finding.

Fix text

Prohibit non-IA-compliant systems or devices in the test and development environment from accessing any DoD operational network or live data.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
