The information system:
a. Uses internal system clocks to generate time stamps for audit records; and
b. Records time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and meets [Assignment: organization-defined granularity of time measurement].
Supplemental Guidance: Time stamps generated by the information system 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. Granularity of time measurements refers to the degree of synchronization between information system clocks and reference clocks, for example, clocks synchronizing within hundreds of milliseconds or within tens of milliseconds. Organizations may define different time granularities for different system components. Time service can also be critical to other security capabilities such as access control and identification and authentication, depending on the nature of the mechanisms used to support those capabilities. Related controls: AU-3, AU-12.

The information system:
(a) Compares the internal information system clocks [Assignment: organization-defined frequency] with [Assignment: organization-defined authoritative time source]; and
(b) Synchronizes the internal system clocks to the authoritative time source when the time difference is greater than [Assignment: organization-defined time period].

Provide a system capability that compares and synchronizes internal system clocks with an authoritative source to generate time stamps for audit records |
Shared |
Microsoft and the customer share responsibilities for implementing this requirement. |
Internal system clocks are used to generate time stamps, which include date and time. Time is expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or local time with an offset from UTC. The granularity of time measurements refers to the degree of synchronization between system clocks and reference clocks, for example, clocks synchronizing within hundreds of milliseconds or within tens of milliseconds. Organizations may define different time granularities for different system components. Time service can also be critical to other security capabilities such as access control and identification and authentication, depending on the nature of the mechanisms used to support those capabilities. This requirement provides uniformity of time stamps for systems with multiple system clocks and systems connected over a network. See [IETF 5905]. |

Systems are configured to the correct and consistent time as follows:
• One or more designated time servers are in use.
• Only the designated central time server(s) receives time from external sources.
• Time received from external sources is based on International Atomic Time or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
• The designated time server(s) accept time updates only from specific industry-accepted external sources.
• Where there is more than one designated time server, the time servers peer with one another to keep accurate time.
• Internal systems receive time information only from designated central time server(s). |
