Windows Server 2025 must, at a minimum, off-load audit records of interconnected systems in real time and off-load stand-alone or nondomain-joined systems weekly.

Protection of log data includes ensuring the log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Audit information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.

Verify the audit records, at a minimum, are off-loaded for interconnected systems in real time and off-loaded for stand-alone or nondomain-joined systems weekly.

If they are not, this is a finding.

Configure the system to, at a minimum, off-load audit records of interconnected systems in real time and off-load stand-alone or nondomain-joined systems weekly.
