CCI-000174

Compile audit records from organization-defined information system components into a system-wide (logical or physical) audit trail that is time-correlated to within an organization-defined level of tolerance for relationship between time stamps of individual records in the audit trail.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to compile audit records from information system components defined in AU-12 (1), CCI 1577 into a system-wide (logical or physical) audit trail that is time-correlated to within the level of tolerance defined in AU-12 (1), CCI-000173 for relationship between time stamps of individual records in the audit trail. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization being inspected/assessed must comply with the STIG/SRG guidance that pertains to CCI 174.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the information system is configured to compile audit records from information system components defined in AU-12 (1), CCI 1577 into a system-wide (logical or physical) audit trail that is time-correlated to within the level of tolerance defined in AU-12 (1), CCI-000173 for relationship between time stamps of individual records in the audit trail. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization conducting the inspection/assessment evaluates the components to ensure that the organization being inspected/assessed has configured the information system in compliance with the applicable STIGs and SRGs pertaining to CCI 174.
