Purpose: Check the compliance of the password guidelines implementation

This Control is restricted to “Internal Users” as “External Users” are using the Single Sign On.

Description: The Administration Manager reconciles an extract of password settings from the Financial Consolidation system and the password guidelines included in the security policy: all the directives must be respected.

Control type: (Completeness, Accuracy, Validation, and Restricted Access): Completeness, Accuracy and Restricted Access

Frequency: Yearly 

Control evidence: 

In “Action” menu / “Password Manager” option, the BFC Administration team defines length of Internal password as well as their validity duration. 

After 60 days using the same password, BFC will automatically oblige the Internal user to change his / her password. Without this renewal, the Internal user cannot connect anymore to BFC.
