New NIST Guidelines change password recommended length to 15 so GWS.COMMONCONTROLS.5.2v0.3 should be updated from the current length of 12

NIST's guidance is: "Verifiers and CSPs SHALL require passwords to be a minimum of eight characters in length and SHOULD require passwords to be a minimum of 15 characters in length." We might want to also adopt as split SHALL/SHOULD approach here as well rather than just upping the SHALL minimum to 15.

Agreed we should follow NIST guidance, we will need to split into two policies of
Shall be minimum 8
Should be minimum of 15
