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.

Check Procedure

Verify the audit records, at a minimum, are offloaded for interconnected systems in real time and offloaded for standalone or nondomain-joined systems weekly. 

If they are not, this is a finding.

Fix Action

Configure the system to, at a minimum, offload audit records of interconnected systems in real time and offload standalone or nondomain-joined systems weekly.
