COM-03: Malware Scanning for Transferred Assets
Implementation of malware scanning for information assets transferred to production environment
Control Description
Information assets that have been transferred or returned to the Company's custody are scanned for malware and other unauthorized software prior to installation into the production environment.
Plain Meaning
This control requires that any files, software, or data that comes into the company's possession (whether from external sources, returned equipment, or transferred assets) must be scanned for malicious software before being allowed into the production environment. This prevents malware from entering the company's systems and compromising security.
