Ensure regular audits of AC=1 modules in APF authorized libraries are conducted
HighLevel 1Manual reviewibm-z
Description
The AC=1 modules that reside in APF authorized libraries should be reviewed annually. It is important maintain documentation identifying the integrity and justification of vendor APF authorized libraries. For non-vendor APF authorized libraries, the source and documentation identifying the integrity and justification that describes the AC=1 module process should be maintained.
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
Verify the AC=1 documentation and compare it to the actual content of the APF authorized libraries.
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Any discrepancy must be fixed: documentation updated and/or libraries/modules removed.
