Description
IIS is not installed by default. Installation of Internet Information System (IIS) may allow unauthorized internet services to be hosted. Websites must only be hosted on servers that have been designed for that purpose and can be adequately secured.

Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Details

Check Text (C-253275r958478_chk)

Verify it has not been installed on the system. Run "Programs and Features". Select "Turn Windows features on or off". If the entries for "Internet Information Services" or "Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core" are selected, this is a finding. If an application requires IIS or a subset to be installed to function, this needs be documented with the ISSO. In addition, any applicable requirements from the IIS STIG must be addressed.

Fix Text (F-56678r828908_fix)

Uninstall "Internet Information Services" or "Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core" from the system.
