The objectives are chosen to be pragmatic and complete, and do not impose technical means. Therefore, details on how these security objectives are fulfilled by a particular service/system must be documented in a separate "Security Implementation Document". These details depend on the operational environment a service/system is deployed into, and might, thus, creatively use and apply any relevant security measure. Derogations from the baseline are possible and expected, and must be explicitly marked.</p> <p><b>At CERN, for each service/system used in production, such a Security Implementation Document must be produced by its system/service owner, and be accepted and approved by the Computer Security Officer.</b></p> <p>All systems/services must be implemented and deployed in compliance with their corresponding Security Implementation Document. Non-compliance will ultimately lead to reduced network connectivity for the affected services and systems (i.e. closure of CERN firewall openings, ceased access to other network domains, and/or disconnection from the CERN network).</p> <h4>Security Baseline Documents</h4> <ul> <li>Security Baseline for Hardened PCs and Laptops<br/>(<a href="https://edms.cern.ch/document/1593100">EDMS
