Vulnerability discussion

Protection of log data includes assuring the log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Audit information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.

Check content

Determine if a process to back up log data to a different system or media than the system being audited has been implemented. If it has not, this is a finding.

Fix text

Establish and implement a process for backing up log data to another system or media other than the system being audited.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
