AU-16(02) Sharing of Audit Information

NIST SP 800-53 (controls) 5.2.0 against 5.2.0

Title

Sharing of Audit Information

Control

Provide cross-organizational audit information to [Assignment: organizations] based on [Assignment: cross-organizational sharing agreements].

Discussion

Due to the distributed nature of the audit information, cross-organization sharing of audit information may be essential for effective analysis of the auditing being performed. For example, the audit records of one organization may not provide sufficient information to determine the appropriate or inappropriate use of organizational information resources by individuals in other organizations. In some instances, only individuals’ home organizations have the appropriate knowledge to make such determinations, thus requiring the sharing of audit information among organizations.
