Title

System-wide and Time-correlated Audit Trail

Control

Compile audit records from [Assignment: system components] into a system-wide (logical or physical) audit trail that is time-correlated to within [Assignment: level of tolerance].

Discussion

Audit trails are time-correlated if the time stamps in the individual audit records can be reliably related to the time stamps in other audit records to achieve a time ordering of the records within organizational tolerances.

Parameters

au-12.01_odp.01: system components
au-12.01_odp.02: level of tolerance

Related controls

Assessment objective

AU-12(01) audit records from [Assignment: system components] are compiled into a system-wide (logical or physical) audit trail that is time-correlated to within [Assignment: level of tolerance].
