Checklist Summary:

Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is a web server currently licensed and distributed to the DoD by the Microsoft Corporation. This STIG covers IIS version 6.0 running on Windows Server 2003. The web server must be configured to protect classified, unclassified, and/or restricted data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), as well as data approved for public release. Immediate risks inherent to this role are external attacks and accidental exposure. Although security controls and infrastructure devices (such as, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and baseline integrity checking tools) offer some defense against malicious activity, security for web servers is best achieved through implementing a comprehensive defense-indepth strategy. This strategy should include, but is not limited to, a server configuration to prevent system compromise; operational procedures for posting data to avoid accidental exposure; proper placement of the server within the network infrastructure; and the allowance or denial of Ports, Protocols, and Services (PPS) used to access the web server.
