Description
Controlling information flow between the container platform components and container user services instantiated by the container platform must enforce organization-defined information flow policies. Example methods for information flow control are: using labels for containers to segregate services; user permissions and roles to limit what user services are available to each user; controlling the user the services are able to execute as; and limiting inter-container network traffic and the resources containers can consume.

Check Text ( C-35966r600577_chk )
Review the container platform configuration to determine if organization-defined information flow controls are implemented. If information flow controls are not implemented, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-35934r600578_fix)
Configure the container platform to implement organization-defined information flow controls.
