Discussion

Without sufficient granularity of time stamps, it is not possible to adequately determine the chronological order of records. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Granularity of time measurements refers to the degree of synchronization between information system clocks and reference clocks.

Check Content

Review the application documentation and deployed configuration to determine whether the application's auditing mechanism records time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision.

If the application's auditing mechanism does not record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Navigate to the auditing function configuration within the application.

Configure the application's auditing mechanism to record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision.
