Title

The ISEC7 SPHERE server must be configured to have at least one user in the following Administrator roles: Security Administrator, Site Administrator, and Help Desk User. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent the auditing of critical events. Misconfigured audits may degrade the system's performance by overwhelming the audit log. Misconfigured audits may also make it more difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident, or identify those responsible for one. The list of audited events is the set of events for which audits are to be generated. This set of events is typically a subset of the list of all events for which the system is capable of generating audit records.

Check Content

Verify for each Role (Security Administrator, Site Administrator, and Help Desk User) that at least one user or AD group has been assigned. If for each Role (Security Administrator, Site Administrator, Help Desk User) there is not at least one user (or AD group) assigned, this is a finding.
