Checklist Summary This group of checklists covers valuable security-related information for the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS).  It includes procedures to perform a Security Readiness Review (SRR).  Security items covered are based on the Web Server Secure Technology Implementation Guide (STIG) published by DISA.  The reviewer will apply Systems Administration knowledge and have familiarity with IIS and Windows operating environments.  Windows server experience is beneficial.  Users of this checklist will need to be able to navigate NT file systems and have an understanding of its security features.    

This web server checklist targets conditions that undermine the integrity of security, contribute to inefficient security operations and administration, or that may lead to the interruption of production operations.  The documentation provides procedures for assessing Internet Information Server. The document is broken into the following sections:

Section 1: Contains specific product requirements for an IIS that were not addressed in the Web Server Secure Technology Implementation Guide (STIG) [http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/stig/index.html].

Section 2: Is not applicable to assessing IIS, but is specific to clients of the DISA VMS database.

Section 3: Provides configuration information for IIS 5.0 web server installations focusing on registry edits, patch management, limiting unnecessary protocols, services, and COM components, backing up data, and the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) settings.

Section 4: Provides configuration information for IIS 5.0 in the areas of indexing, mitigating buffer overflows, scripting, encryption, and configuration of log files.

Section 5: Provides configuration information for IIS 6.0 web server installations focusing on patch management, limiting unnecessary protocols, services, and COM components, backing up data, and a heavy focus on registry edits.

Section 6: Provides configuration information for IIS 6.0 in the areas of indexing, mitigating buffer overflows, scripting, encryption, and configuration of log files.

Note: Specific assessment procedures and information for assessing IIS can be found in all other sections of this checklist bundle, some of which is question-answer oriented.
