Rule version WN10-00-000220 · STIG v3 · 2025-09-24

Discussion

If not configured properly, Bluetooth may allow rogue devices to communicate with a system. If a rogue device is paired with a system, there is potential for sensitive information to be compromised.

Check

This is NA if the system does not have Bluetooth.

Verify the organization has a policy to turn off Bluetooth when not in use and personnel are trained. If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix

Turn off Bluetooth radios when not in use. Establish an organizational policy for the use of Bluetooth to include training of personnel.
