The operating system must initiate session audits at system start-up.

If auditing is enabled late in the start-up process, the actions of some start-up processes may not be audited. Some audit systems also maintain state information only available if auditing is enabled before a given process is created.

Verify the operating system initiates session audits at system start-up. If it does not, this is a finding.

Configure the operating system to initiate session audits at system start-up.
