Vulnerability discussion

Changes in categories of information must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized access to protected data could go undetected.For detailed information on categorizing information, refer to FIPS Publication 199, Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems, and FIPS Publication 200, Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems.

Check content

Review DBMS documentation to verify that audit records can be produced when categories of information are modified. If the DBMS is not capable of this, this is a finding. Review the DBMS/database security and audit configurations to verify that audit records are produced when categories of information are modified. If they are not produced, this is a finding.

Fix text

Deploy a DBMS capable of producing the required audit records when categories of information are modified. Configure the DBMS to produce audit records when categories of information are modified.

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.
