Assessment Objectives(2)
An assessor determines each objective separately. “Mostly implemented” is not a result — every objective below has to stand on its own.
- [a]
managed access control points are identified and implemented; and
1 example covers this
- [b]
remote access is routed through managed network access control points.

[a]
managed access control points are identified and implemented; and[b]
remote access is routed through managed network access control points.
All remote paths land on managed VPN or IdP — no direct RDP to enclave

AO coverage. Addresses both Remote Access Routing objectives.
Control points. Internet users reach CUI only via (1) IdP SSO to SaaS or (2) full-tunnel VPN into the lab VRF. Edge firewall denies inbound RDP/SMB from the Internet to enclave subnets.
Routing. VPN terminates on managed concentrators; split tunnel disabled for CUI routes. Admin remote work uses the same VPN then a jump host — not a public jump IP.
Maintenance. Quarterly firewall rule review for accidental publish. Continuous monitoring for new listeners on enclave VLANs.
Accepted gap. A facilities vendor needs a temporary camera VPN. It uses a separate non-CUI VRF with no route to the enclave.
What the evidence looks like
- Firewall rules denying inbound RDP/SMB to enclave
- VPN topology showing managed termination points
- Route table / VRF diagram for CUI vs facilities
Environment
Hybrid lab + SaaS; remote staff.Tools
