END-14.2: Explicitly Indicate Current Participants

END 5 — Medium Protect

Automated mechanisms exist to provide an explicit indication of current participants in online meetings and teleconferences.

Control Question: Does the organization use automated mechanisms to provide an explicit indication of current participants in online meetings and teleconferences?

Capability Maturity Model

Level 0 — Not Performed

There is no evidence of a capability to provide an explicit indication of current participants in online meetings and teleconferences.

Level 1 — Performed Informally

C|P-CMM1 is N/A, since a structured process is required to provide an explicit indication of current participants in online meetings and teleconferences.

Level 2 — Planned & Tracked

C|P-CMM2 is N/A, since a well-defined process is required to provide an explicit indication of current participants in online meetings and teleconferences.

Level 3 — Well Defined

Endpoint Security (END) efforts are standardized across the organization and centrally managed, where technically feasible, to ensure consistency. CMM Level 3 control maturity would reasonably expect all, or at least most, the following criteria to exist:

  • Configuration management is centralized for all operating systems, applications, servers and other configurable technologies.
  • Technologies are configured to protect data with the strength and integrity commensurate with the classification or sensitivity of the information and conform to industry-recognized standards for hardening (e.g., DISA STIGs, CIS Benchmarks or OEM security guides), including test, development, staging and production environments.
  • Configurations conform to industry-recognized standards for hardening (e.g., DISA STIGs, CIS Benchmarks or OEM security guides) for test, development, staging and production environments.
  • An Identity & Access Management (IAM) function, or similar function, centrally manages permissions and implements “least privileges” practices for the management of user, group and system accounts, including privileged accounts.
  • An IT Asset Management (ITAM) function, or similar function, categorizes endpoint devices according to the data the asset stores, transmits and/ or processes and applies the appropriate technology controls to protect the asset and data that conform to industry-recognized standards for hardening (e.g., DISA STIGs, CIS Benchmarks or OEM security guides).
  • A Security Operations Center (SOC), or similar function, centrally manages anti-malware and anti-phishing technologies, in accordance with industry-recognized practices for Prevention, Detection & Response (PDR) activities.
  • A Security Incident Event Manager (SIEM), or similar automated tool, is tuned to detect and respond to anomalous behavior that could indicate account compromise or other malicious activities.
  • The Human Resources (HR) department ensures that every user accessing a system that processes, stores, or transmits sensitive/regulated data is cleared and regularly trained in proper data handling practices.
  • Unauthorized configuration changes are responded to in accordance with an Incident Response Plan (IRP) to determine if the any unauthorized configuration is malicious in nature.
Level 4 — Quantitatively Controlled

See C|P-CMM3. There are no defined C|P-CMM4 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a quantitatively-controlled process is not necessary to provide an explicit indication of current participants in online meetings and teleconferences.

Level 5 — Continuously Improving

See C|P-CMM4. There are no defined C|P-CMM5 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a continuously-improving process is not necessary to provide an explicit indication of current participants in online meetings and teleconferences.

Assessment Objectives

  1. END-14.2_A01 online meetings and teleconferences for which an explicit indication of current participants is to be provided are defined.
  2. END-14.2_A02 an explicit indication of current participants in online meetings and teleconferences is provided.
