Description
Logging must be utilized in order to track system activity, assist in diagnosing system issues, and provide evidence needed for forensic investigations post security incident. Remote access by administrators requires that the admin activity be logged. Application servers provide a web and command line-based remote management capability for managing the application server. Application servers must ensure that all actions related to administrative functionality such as application server configuration are logged.

Who does this work

12 NICE work roles and 9 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-95921r1_chk)

Review System Security Plan documentation. Identify users and roles. In the administrative console, navigate to Users and Groups >> Administrative User Roles. Check the roles for each user. If any user is not authorized by the ISSO/ISSM to be in the role of an auditor, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-87985r1_fix)

In the administrative console, navigate to Users and Groups >> Administrative User roles. If an unauthorized user is in the auditor role, remove the user from the auditor role. Restart the DMGR and all the JVMs.
