The DNS server implementation must produce audit records containing information to establish where the events occurred.

Description
Without establishing where events occurred, it is impossible to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident. Associating information about where the event occurred within the application provides a means of investigating an attack, recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or identifying an improperly configured application. In order to compile an accurate risk assessment and provide forensic analysis, it is essential for security personnel to know where events occurred, such as application components, modules, session identifiers, filenames, host names, and functionality.

Who does this work

6 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-205163r960897_chk)

Review the DNS system configuration to determine if it is configured to produce, capture and store log records which contain information to establish where events have occurred on the system. If the logging function is not configured to produce log records with information regarding where the event took place, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-5430r392406_fix)

Configure the DNS server to produce log records that contain information that establishes where events have occurred. Additionally, configure the audit facility of the DNS system to provide information where events have occurred.
