Review the Trend Deep Security server to ensure audit tools are protected from unauthorized modification. Interview the ISSO in order to identify all users and their permissions to the audit records. The ISSO must identify each user along with their assigned role configured for the appropriate information systems allowed. Verify the information gathered against the application's, "Computer and Group Rights" for each "Role" created along with the users assigned. If the information gathered does not match the settings within the application this is a finding.
