Part of PDS Monitoring - Daily Visual Checks
Associated with IA controls: DCSR-3, PESS-1, ECCT-2
A PDS that is not inspected, monitored and maintained as required could result in undetected access, sabotage or tampering of the unencrypted transmission lines. This could directly lead to the loss or compromise of classified.
A PDS carrying SIPRNet cable is subject to periodic visual inspections IAW (Table B-2, of NSTISSI 7003). Check to ensure: 1. At least one daily inspection of the PDS line is conducted or more frequently if required by Table B-2. 2. The PDS inspection results are documented and maintained on hand for at least 90 days - or longer if required by the PDS Approval Authority. 3. Person(s) are formally appointed (in writing) to conduct the visual inspections. 4. The person(s) appointed to accomplish the visual inspection are trained sufficiently to recognize physical changes in PDS including attempts at penetration and tampering. NOTE: In a tactical environment periodic checks are not applicable for Continuously Viewed Carriers since they are under continuous observation, 24 hours per day (including when operational). This check is applicable to tactical environments where Continuously Viewed Carriers are not used.
A PDS carrying SIPRNet cable is subject to periodic visual inspections IAW (Table B-2, of NSTISSI 7003). To correct this finding visual checks of PDS must be completed on a continuing basis as follows: 1. At least one daily inspection of the PDS line must be conducted, or more frequently if required by Table B-2. 2. The PDS inspection results must be documented and maintained on hand for at least 90 days, or longer if required by the PDS Approval Authority. 3. Person(s) must be formally appointed (in writing) to conduct the visual inspections. 4. The person(s) appointed to accomplish the visual inspection must be trained sufficiently to recognize physical changes in PDS including attempts at penetration and tampering.
