IIST-SV-000148 - The IIS 10.0 web server must not be running on a system providing any other role.

Information

Web servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that utilize TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production system.

The web server must provide the capability to disable or deactivate network-related services deemed non-essential to the server mission, are too unsecure, or are prohibited by the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Remove all unapproved programs and roles from the production web server.
