SC-15(3)—Collaborative Computing Devices and Applications | Disabling and Removal in Secure Work Areas
IL6
>Control Description
Disable or remove collaborative computing devices and applications from ⚙organization-defined systems or system components in ⚙organization-defined secure work areas.
>DoD Impact Level Requirements
No specific parameter values or requirements for this impact level.
>Discussion
