The operating system must offload audit records onto a different system or media from the system being audited.

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.

Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

Verify the operating system off-loads audit records onto a different system or media from the system being audited. If it does not, this is a finding.

Configure the operating system to off-load audit records onto a different system or media from the system being audited.
