| | [1] | This Technology is currently being evaluated, reviewed, and tested in controlled environments. Use of this technology is strictly controlled and not available for use within the general population. | | [2] | Known security vulnerabilities must be properly remediated prior to product deployment. Product must remain properly patched per Federal and Department standards in order to mitigate known and future security vulnerabilities. Additionally, if PII/PHI/VA sensitive information is involved, FIPS 140-2 certified encryption must be used to encrypt data in transit and the technology must be implemented within the VA production network (not in a DMZ) or additional mitigating controls must be documented in an approved System Security Plan (SSP). Finally, configuration and deployment standards for Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) which are defined and maintained by the Client Services organization within VA Enterprise Systems Engineering must be followed and adhered to unless an appropriate waiver is granted. | | [3] | Known security vulnerabilities must be properly remediated prior to product deployment. Product must remain properly patched per Federal and Department standards in order to mitigate known and future security vulnerabilities.
Per VA Handbook 6500, Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 certified encryption must be used to encrypt data in transit and at rest if Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI) or VA sensitive information is involved or additional mitigating controls must be documented in an approved System Security Plan (SSP). Additionally, the technology must be implemented within the VA production network (not in a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)).
Finally, configuration and deployment standards for Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), which are defined and maintained by the Client Services organization within VA Enterprise Systems Engineering must be followed and adhered to unless an appropriate waiver is granted. | | [4] | Configuration and deployment standards for Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) which are defined and maintained by the Client Services organization within VA Enterprise Systems Engineering (Mail: VA IT Engineering CS Desktop Technologies Team) must be followed and adhered to unless an appropriate waiver is granted. See the reference section for more information. | | [5] | 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. | | [6] | 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. | | [7] | Versions newer than 2012 which are listed in an evaluation status are under evaluation and are currently not approved for production except as part of an official Enterprise System Engineering (ESE) production pilot or production test as approved by ESE. | | [8] | 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. | | [9] | Veterans Affairs (VA) users must ensure VA sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations.

The local ISO can advise on the ESCCB review process. | | [11] | Due to potential information security risks, cloud based technologies may not be used without the approval of the Enterprise Cloud Solution Office (ECSO). This body is in part responsible for ensuring organizational information, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and VA sensitive data are not compromised. (Ref: VA Directive 6004, VA Directive 6517, VA Directive 6513 and VA Directive 6102). | | [12] | 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. | | [13] | 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). | | [14] | If free trialware is utilized, the software must be purchased or removed at the end of the trial period. | | [15] | Users should check with their supervisor, Information Security Office (ISO) or local OIT representative for permission to download and use this software. Downloaded software must always be scanned for viruses prior to installation to prevent adware or malware. Freeware may only be downloaded directly from the primary site that the creator of the software has advertised for public download and user or development community engagement. Users should note, any attempt by the installation process to install any additional, unrelated software is not approved and the user should take the proper steps to decline those installations. | | [16] | If free trialware is utilized, the software must be purchased or removed at the end of the trial period.
Users must ensure that Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), and Microsoft .NET Framework are implemented with VA-approved baselines. (refer to the ‘Category’ tab under ‘Runtime Dependencies’) | | [17] | 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.
