Rule version SRG-APP-000925-AU-000420 · STIG v3 · 2026-09-01

Discussion

Synchronization of internal system clocks with an authoritative source provides uniformity of time stamps for systems with multiple system clocks and systems connected over a network.

Check

Verify the Central Log Server is configured to compare the internal system clocks on an organization-defined frequency with organization-defined authoritative time source.

If the Central Log Server is not configured to compare the internal system clocks on an organization-defined frequency with organization-defined authoritative time source, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the Central Log Server to compare the internal system clocks on an organization-defined frequency with organization-defined authoritative time source.
