The DBMS must produce audit records containing sufficient information to establish the outcome (success or failure) of the events.

Description
Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without information about the outcome of events, security personnel cannot make an accurate assessment as to whether an attack was successful or if changes were made to the security state of the system. Event outcomes can include indicators of event success or failure and event-specific results (e.g., the security state of the information system after the event occurred). As such, they also provide a means to measure the impact of an event and help authorized personnel to determine the appropriate response.

Check Text ( C-40814r3_chk )
Check DBMS settings and existing audit records to verify information specific to the outcome of the event is being captured and stored with the audit records. If audit records exist without the outcome of the event that occurred, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-36287r2_fix)
Configure DBMS audit settings to include the outcome of the event as part of the audit record.
