The requirements for the development of configuration standards and maintenance of secure configuration procedures are outlined in several standards, e.g.:

■ PCI DSS Req. 2.2 – Develop configuration standards for all system components. Assure that these standards address all known security vulnerabilities and are consistent with industry-accepted system hardening standards.
■ TSA for SOC 2 Req. CC7.1 – Uses Defined Configuration Standards. Management has defined configuration standards.

* System configuration standards must be kept up to date to ensure that newly identified weaknesses are corrected prior to a system being installed on the network.
