Benchmark: 10.1 Implement audit trails to link all access to system components to each individual user
Description
It is critical to have a process or system that links user access to system components accessed. This system generates audit logs and provides the ability to trace back suspicious activity to a specific user. This control verifies, through observation and interviewing the system administrator, that: audit trails are enabled and active for system components, access to system components is linked to individual users.
Usage
