11.1.1 System Security
The users operating system (we require XP Professional for CFR11 compliance) is
responsible for general security. What this entails, is:
a. User login.
Each user that can operate the machine, in ANY fashion whether writing or running
programs, must have a unique login ID with a secure password.
Users cannot share ID’s or passwords, or the system IS NOT CFR11 compliant.
The logging service must be “secured” it is set up so that only people in the
Administrators group, can start/stop the service or change its configuration. It is up to
the administrators of the system, to determine who is in this group, they have the ability
to shut the system off or change its operation.
b. File System:
The directory that the logging service uses must be secured also, otherwise any user
that knows where the directory is, can just delete anything they want.
