| | | | [1] | Users must ensure that Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server is implemented with VA-approved baselines. (refer to the ‘Category’ tab under ‘Runtime Dependencies’)
This technology requires using a Universal Service Bus (USB) technology to transfer data into the records. As such, proper precautions need to be taken to protect data. | | | [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 ISSO (Information System Security Officer) to ensure compliance with both VA Handbook 6500 and VA Directive 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 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 or its successor 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 or 140-3 compliant full disk encryption (FOE) must be implemented on the storage device 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 System Security Officer (ISSO) 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). By September 22, 2026, all FIPS 140-2 certificate validations will be placed on the Historical List, please refer to FIPS Transition Effort for further guidance and timeline of changes. | | | [5] | If this technology is an FDA certified medical device or is categorized by the Department as a networked medical device then it must be isolated and protected in accordance with The Medical Device Isolation Architecture (MDIA) 2015 Guidance. This guideline stipulates that if the device meets ANY of the following criteria, then it must be isolated:
- If the device cannot have the VA standard desktop security suite loaded on it. This includes but is not limited to Anti-Virus, HIPS, USB Access controls, software/hardware inventory, automated software updates/patches and Group Policy Objects (GPOs)
- If the device is a Windows device and cannot be part of the domain
- If the device is not part of the regular IT patched management process
- Non Windows devices (UNIX, Linux, MAC/Apple, etc.)
The criteria should be applied to both FDA certified and non-FDA certified devices which must maintain medical/clinical functionality. An example would be a PC that is not running the current supported operating system in order to manage medication-dispensing devices. While these may not be considered strictly medical devices, they are still vulnerable to attack and need to be protected. For guidance and assistance in security networked medical devices, please contact the Medical Device Isolation Architecture (MDIA) Working Group. | | | [6] | This product includes a Bluetooth capability. If that capability is leveraged, the implementer must conform to the Bluetooth Standard. All instances of deployment using this technology should be reviewed by the local ISSO (Information System Security Officer) to ensure compliance with VA Handbook 6500. | | | [7] | The Federal Information Processing standards (FIPS) 140-2 certification status of this technology was not able to be verified. This technology will require a 3rd party FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 certified solution for any data containing PHI/PII or VA sensitive information, where applicable. More information regarding the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) can be found on the NIST website. |
