Check Text (C-205699r958482_chk)
Determine whether any shared accounts exist. If no shared accounts exist, this is NA.
Shared accounts, such as required by an application, may be approved by the organization. This must be documented with the ISSO. Documentation must include the reason for the account, who has access to the account, and how the risk of using the shared account is mitigated to include monitoring account activity.
If unapproved shared accounts exist, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-5964r355016_fix)
Remove unapproved shared accounts from the system.
Document required shared accounts with the ISSO. Documentation must include the reason for the account, who has access to the account, and how the risk of using the shared account is mitigated to include monitoring account activity.
