Check Text (C-205661r1051068_chk)

Determine if manually managed application/service accounts exist. If none exist, this is NA. Verify the organization has a policy to ensure passwords for manually managed application/service accounts are at least 14 characters in length. If such a policy does not exist or has not been implemented, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-5926r951109_fix)

Establish a policy that requires application/service account passwords that are manually managed to be at least 14 characters in length. Ensure the policy is enforced.
