The specifications that comprise SCAP are as follows:

The vendor shall provide instructions on how to execute a previously imported valid FDCC SCAP-expressed data stream.

The vendor shall provide an English language document to the lab that indicates which settings must be changed and a rationale for each changed setting. This content will be used on NIST web pages to explain details about each validated product and thus must contain only information that is to be publicly released.

The product's documentation (printed or electronic) must state that it uses SCAP and explain relevant details to the users of the product.

SCAP.V.1: The vendor shall indicate where in the product documentation information regarding the use of SCAP can be found.

See Standards.

SCAP.V.3.1: The vendor shall indicate which one or more of the defined SCAP capabilities their product is being tested for.

See Standards.

SCAP.V.3.2: The vendor shall provide product documentation that enumerates the general product capabilities for the target platform (e.g., antivirus, intrusion detection, firewall) that relate to the asserted SCAP capabilities.

See Overview.

SCAP.V.4: The vendor shall provide instructions on where the dates for all offline SCAP data can be inspected in the product output.

SCAP.V.5: The vendor shall provide documentation explaining and instruction on how to import an SCAP-expressed data stream can be imported into the product and subsequently executed.

The vendor shall provide documentation explaining where CCE compliance mappings can be viewed within the product output.

for the target platform, including XCCDF and OVAL content, into the product.

See Importing Profiles.

SCAP.V.6: The vendor shall provide instruction on where the corresponding XCCDF and OVAL results files can be located for inspection.

Right-click on the computer in the view at the bottom of the policy that has completed an assessment, then click Resource Manager. Under the Data tab, navigate to the Event Classes accordion item, then to Data Classes > Arellia > Security Analysis > OVAL Analysis. Select the assessment in the list, then right-click and click View Raw Oval Results Document or View Raw XCCDF Results.

SCAP.V.7: The vendor shall provide instructions on where the XCCDF Rules and their associated CCE IDs can be visually inspected within the product output.

See Viewing Analysis Results. CCE IDs are listed in the rule configuration when double-clicked in the Compliance Viewer.

SCAP.V.8: The vendor shall provide instructions on how the product indicates the validity of the imported SCAP-expressed data stream to a target platform. Instructions should also describe how the imported data stream is indicated to not be valid for a target platform. This requirement is testing the use of the OVAL check associated with a CPE name via the CPE dictionary to determine applicability of the data stream.

See Creating a Policy. Selecting the profile will choose the associated target computers (if any exist).

SCAP.V.9: The vendor shall provide documentation explaining where the NVD CVSS base scores and vector strings can be located with the corresponding CVE ID. The vendor may optionally provide the tester information on how the product can be updated with new NVD CVSS base scores and vector strings prior to testing.

See Vulnerability Reports.

SCAP.V.10: The vendor shall provide documentation explaining how an SCAP-expressed data stream can be imported into the product and subsequently executed.

See Importing Profiles.

SCAP.V.12: The vendor shall provide instructions on how an SCAP-expressed data stream can be imported and executed on the target system to remediate non-compliant settings. The vendor shall also provide instructions on where the results of the remediation action can be viewed within the product output.
