Sub-control 1.4: Maintain Detailed Asset Inventory
Sub-control 1.5: Maintain Asset Inventory Information
Inputs
The list of wireless clients (subset of hardware inventory)
Approved configurations to disable peer-to-peer (adhoc) wireless network capabilities
Operations
For each wireless client in Input 1, compare its configuration against the appropriate approved configuration(s) from Input 2.
Make a list of wireless clients that adhere to the approved configurations (M1)
Make a list of wireless clients that do not (M2), noting the deviations from the approved configurations.
Measures
M1 = List of wireless clients properly configured to disable peer-to-peer (adhoc) wireless network capabilities (compliant list)
M2 = List of wireless clients not properly configured to disable peer-to-peer (adhoc) wireless network capabilities (non-compliant list)
M3 = Count of wireless clients with peer-to peer (adhoc) wireless network capabilities disabled (count of M1)
M4 = Total count of wireless clients (count of Input 1)
