Fix Recommendation

Configure Windows to require the use of FIPS compliant algorithms for the unclassified information that requires it.

Click Start >> Type "Local Security Policy" >> Press Enter >> Expand "Local Policies" >> Select "Security Options" >> Locate "System Cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing." >> Change the Setting option to "Enabled" >> Restart Windows

Check Contents

Review the server documentation, if this system does not contain data that must be encrypted, this finding is NA.
