FedRAMP Pattern Hiding Displays AC-11 (1)

Overview:

Supplemental Guidance:
Publicly viewable images can include static or dynamic images, for example, patterns used with screen savers, photographic images, solid colors, clock, battery life indicator, or a blank screen, with the additional caveat that none of the images convey sensitive information.
