  • It is the responsibility of the system owner to add, change, and delete settings for systems that filter or control traffic
  • Documentation of the network and associated filtering and control systems is maintained throughout its lifecycle as an integral part of the change and settings management process
  • The settings and desired operation of the systems are checked periodically during the operation and maintenance of the data processing environment and in the event of exceptional situations
