Identify if a DoD STIG or NSA guide is available.

If no STIG is available for the product, the application and application components must be configured by the following as available: 

- commercially accepted practices, 
- independent testing results, or 
- vendor literature and lock down guides.

If the application and application components do not have DoD STIG or NSA guidance available and are not configured according to: 
commercially accepted practices, 
independent testing results,
or vendor literature and lock down guides, this is a finding.
