Control Statement

Allocate audit log storage capacity to accommodate [Assignment: audit log retention requirements].

Supplemental Guidance

Organizations consider the types of audit logging to be performed and the audit log processing requirements when allocating audit log storage capacity. Allocating sufficient audit log storage capacity reduces the likelihood of such capacity being exceeded and resulting in the potential loss or reduction of audit logging capability.
