SFS 1: Administrator and Master Keys

All 16 sets · What is an SFS?

Assess the ownership, protection, use, and recovery of privileged accounts, administrator credentials, master keys, and other high-impact secrets.

Scope and boundaries

This set covers secrets and permissions whose misuse or loss could compromise administration or make protected data unrecoverable. It includes named administrators, separation of duties, secret storage, emergency access, credential rotation, revocation, and traceable privileged actions. Evidence should show who can use a secret, how access is authorized, and how changes and recovery are controlled. General user authentication belongs to SFS 3; cryptographic algorithms and service configuration belong to SFS A.

The sixteen questions

This set has sixteen SF positions, 0–F. Each position is one question, not another set. All questions below are unreviewed placeholders; no assessment result has been recorded.

From questions to a profile

Only reviewed, accepted 0/1 assessments can populate the sixteen-bit set profile. SF 0 is the most significant bit and SF F is the least significant bit. The completed result uses four hexadecimal digits, including leading zeros. There is no completed profile for this draft set.

Read assessment and validation, then encoding. A set profile preserves individual answers; it is not a summed security score.
