The operating system must invoke a system shutdown in the event of an audit failure, unless an alternative audit capability exists.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-33205	SRG-OS-000213-NA	SV-43606r1_rule		Medium

Description
It is critical when an operating system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required it takes action to mitigate the failure. If the system were to continue processing without auditing enabled, actions can be taken on the system that cannot be tracked and recorded for later forensic analysis. Rationale for non-applicability: This CCI is not appropriate for a mobile device. Automatic disabling of devices poses a safety risk to mobile users who may have no other means of communication.
