The operating system must not alter original content or time ordering of audit records when it provides a report generation capability.

Description
If the report generation capability alters the content or time ordering of audit records, the integrity of the audit records is compromised, and the records are no longer usable for forensic analysis. Time ordering refers to the chronological organization of records based on time stamps. The degree of time stamp precision can affect this. This requirement is specific to operating systems providing report generation capabilities. The report generation capability can be met either natively or through the use of third-party tools.

Who does this work

11 NICE work roles and 8 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-203710r987795_chk)

Verify the operating system does not alter original content or time ordering of audit records when it provides a report generation capability. If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-3835r375078_fix)

Configure the operating system to not alter original content or time ordering of audit records when it provides a report generation capability.
