Title

Windows Server 2025 audit records must be backed up to a different system or media than the system being audited.

Control

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.

Discussion

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