Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-60867 AMLS-NM-000290 SV-75325r1_rule Medium
Description
If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Time is commonly expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or local time with an offset from UTC.
