| | | | [1] | This technology must use the latest TRM-approved version of Java Environment.
Users must ensure that Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Server, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server are implemented within VA-approved baselines.
Per the Initial Product Review, users must abide by the following constraints:
- Veterans Affairs (VA) users must ensure VA sensitive data is properly protected
in compliance with all VA regulations. All instances of deployment using this
technology should be reviewed by the local ISO (Information Security Officer)
to ensure compliance with VA Handbook 6500.
- Due to potential information security risks, SaaS/PaaS solutions must complete
the Veterans-Focused Integration Process Request (VIPR) process where a
collaborative effort between Demand Management (DM), Enterprise Program
Management Office Information Assurance (EPMO IA), Project Special Forces
(PSF), Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office (ECSO), Chief Technology Officer
(CTO), and stakeholders determines the SaaS/PaaS category during the
Discovery Phase. All SaaS and Non-AWS/Azure (VAEC) PaaS assets are
routed to EPMO IA for Analysis and Approval to Operate (ATO) with technical
oversight, acquisition, production, and sustainment provided by PSF.
- System administrators must ensure agents and monitoring systems are
properly configured to prevent unintended exposure of VA component
configuration.
- Any user accessing Wellbase must ensure they are using VA approved and
secured mobile devices or wireless technology.
- System administrators must ensure only approved versions of PostgreSQL are
used during deployment. Otherwise a POA&M must be submitted for any
unapproved versions of PostgreSQL and migrated to and approved version as
soon as possible. VA utilizes the risk-based decision process defined in the
VA POA&M Management Guide and Accreditation Requirement Guide in
accordance with VA Handbook 6500 - Risk Management Framework for VA
Information Systems - Tier 3: VA Information Security Program. Please reach
out to your ISSO, ISO and SS for pre-existing systems to enter a high or higher
POA&M for the “TRM Unapproved technology”.
- System administrators must ensure only approved versions of JDK are installed
during deployment
| | | [2] | Veterans Affairs (VA) users must ensure VA sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations. All instances of deployment using this technology should be reviewed by the local ISO (Information Security Officer) to ensure compliance with VA Handbook 6500. | | | [3] | Technology must remain patched and operated in accordance with Federal and Department security policies and guidelines in order to mitigate known and future security vulnerabilities. | | | [4] | Per the May 5th, 2015 memorandum from the VA Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) FIPS 140-2 Validate Full Disk Encryption (FOE) for Data at Rest in Database Management Systems (DBMS) and in accordance with Federal requirements and VA policy, database management must use Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 compliant encryption to protect the confidentiality and integrity of VA information at rest at the application level. If FIPS 140-2 encryption at the application level is not technically possible, FIPS 140-2 compliant full disk encryption (FOE) must be implemented on the hard drive where the DBMS resides. Appropriate access enforcement and physical security control must also be implemented. All instances of deployment using this technology should be reviewed to ensure compliance with VA Handbook 6500 and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards. It is the responsibility of the system owner to work with the local CIO (or designee) and Information Security Officer (ISO) to ensure that a compliant DBMS technology is selected and that if needed, mitigating controls are in place and documented in a System Security Plan (SSP). | | | [5] | In cases where the technology is used for external connections, a full Enterprise Security Change Control Board (ESCCB) review is required in accordance VA Directive 6004 , VA Directive 6517, and VA Directive 6513. The local ISO can advise on the ESCCB review process. | | | [6] | Use of this technology is limited to VA staff charged with ensuring the security of the VA network infrastructure. VA staff performing analysis with this technology need to work closely with system owners and agree on security scanning rules, such as the assets scanned, along the schedule and frequency of those scans. | | | [7] | Due to potential information security risks for cloud-based technologies, users should coordinate closely with their facility ISSO for guidance and assistance on cloud products. If further guidance is needed contact the Enterprise Cloud Solution Office (ECSO), which is the body responsible for new software development in and migration of existing systems to the VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC) and ensuring organizational information, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and VA sensitive data are not compromised within the VAEC. For information about Software as a Service (SaaS) products or to submit a SaaS product request with the Project Special Forces (SPF) team, please use their online form.
(Ref: VA Directive 6004, VA Directive 6517, VA Directive 6513 and VA Directive 6102). | | | [8] | This technology should only be used when required by a Veterans Affairs (VA) business partner for an approved VA Project. Use of this technology must comply with ESCCB requirements which include: Signed Interconnection Agreements/Memorandum of Understanding agreements (MOU/ISA) with each external business partner, compliance with VA Handbook 6500, and must implement appropriate National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) requirements for all devices interacting with this technology. All instances of deployment using this technology should be reviewed by the local ISO (Information Security Officer) to ensure compliance with VA Handbook 6500 and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards. As of January 27th, 2017, Risk-based Decisions (RBD) will be handled per VAIQ # 7769667. In cases where the technology is used for external connections, a full Enterprise Security Change Control Board (ESCCB) review is required in accordance VA Directive 6004, VA Directive 6517
and VA Directive 6513. The local ISO can advise on the ESCCB review process and ensure privacy of information compliance protections are in place. | | | [9] | New installations or major expansions of this technology that transmit data over the VA Wide Area Network (WAN) must complete a WAN impact review (yourIT Service Portal:[SNOW Service Requests]) prior to implementation to ensure proper compliance to VA network design and usage requirements. | | | [10] | This product can be configured with a PostgreSQL Database, which currently has TRM constraints limiting its use to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) only due to its many known security issues on other platforms. If PostgreSQL is selected for use with this product, these factors must be considered especially when an instance of this product will be considered a Moderate or High-Risk system. See PostgreSQL Database TRM entry for more details. | | | [11] | Due to potential information security risks for cloud-based technologies, users should coordinate closely with their facility ISSO for guidance and assistance on cloud products.
