Application/service account passwords must be of sufficient length to prevent being easily cracked. Application/service accounts that are manually managed must have passwords at least 14 characters in length.
Check
Determine if manually managed application/service accounts exist. If none exist, this is NA.
Verify the organization has a policy to ensure passwords for manually managed application/service accounts are at least 14 characters in length.
If such a policy does not exist or has not been implemented, this is a finding.
Fix
Establish a policy that requires application/service account passwords that are manually managed to be at least 14 characters in length. Ensure the policy is enforced.
