Check Text (C-6896r291576_chk)

Review DBMS documentation to verify that administrative users can specify database objects for which access must be audited and can specify which kinds of access must be audited.

If the DBMS is not capable of this, this is a finding.

Review system documentation to determine whether the application owner has specified database objects (tables, views, procedures, functions, etc.) for which access must be audited. Review the DBMS/database security and audit settings to verify that the specified access to the specified objects is audited.

If not, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-6896r291577_fix)

Deploy a DBMS capable of producing the required audit records when object access occurs.

Configure audit settings to create audit records when the specified access to the specified objects occurs.
