Vulnerability discussion

Audit processing failures include, for example, software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded. Without proper notification vital audit records may be lost.

Check content

Ask the system administrator (SA) for documented routines and procures for notification in the event of audit failure. If there are no routines or procedures or they are not documented and filed with the ISSO, this is a finding.

Fix text

Develop a procedure for notification in the event of audit failure.

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.
