18.9: Separate Production and Non-Production Systems ========================================================= Maintain separate environments for production and non-production systems. Developers should not have unmonitored access to production environments. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Asset Type - Security Function - Implementation Groups * - N/A - N/A - 2, 3 Dependencies ------------ * Sub-control 1.4: Maintain Detailed Asset Inventory * Sub-control 1.5: Maintain Asset Inventory Information * Sub-control 2.1: Maintain Inventory of Authorized Software * Sub-control 2.5: Integrate Software and Hardware Asset Inventories Inputs ----------- #. The inventory of systems used for production and non-production deployments #. The inventory of user accounts #. The mechanism for monitoring user account access to systems Operations ---------- #. From Input 1, categorize the deployments of systems into those with production deployments and those with non-production deployments. Note that systems *should* have both production and 1..n non-production deployments (including development, staging, integration testing, etc). #. From Input 2, determine the list of user accounts with access to production environments Measures -------- * M1(i) = (For each system with a production deployment "i") 1 if at least one non-production deployment environment exists for that system, 0 otherwise. * M2 = Count of systems with a production deployment * M3 = Count of user accounts whose access to production environments is monitored by the mechanism defined by Input 3. * M4 = Count of user accounts with access to production environments (the count from Operation 2).
