AC.L2-3.1.14 Remote Access Routing

Route remote access via managed access control points.

Source: NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 3.1.14

Discussion: Routing remote access through managed access control points enhances explicit, organizational control over such connections, reducing the susceptibility to unauthorized access to organizational systems resulting in the unauthorized disclosure of CUI.

Assessment Objectives:

Determine if:

• [a] managed access control points are identified and implemented; and
• [b] remote access is routed through managed network access control points.

Examine: [SELECT FROM: Access control policy; procedures addressing remote access to the system; security plan; system design documentation; list of all managed network access control points; system configuration settings and associated documentation; system audit logs and records; other relevant documents or records].

Interview: [SELECT FROM: System or network administrators; personnel with information security responsibilities].

Test: [SELECT FROM: Mechanisms routing all remote accesses through managed network access control points].
