What is the purpose of the CMMC Hashing Tool Execution Policy?

The purpose of the CMMC Hashing Tool Execution Policy is to allow for the temporary overriding of script execution restrictions. This is important in the context of cybersecurity assessments, where certain scripts may need to be run to ensure that hashing processes can be executed without being blocked by standard execution policies. By permitting this override, assessors can effectively utilize hashing tools crucial for verification and validation of data integrity during assessments.

This execution policy facilitates the execution of necessary scripts that are secured and intended for use during the assessment process. It ensures that the tools required for evaluating compliance with the CMMC standards are operational without being hindered by the system's default security settings which might prevent script execution.
