5.1 Ensure that auditable events and diagnostic tracking settings within the SharePoint system is consistent with the organization's security plans

Information

SharePoint must allow designated organizational personnel to select which auditable
events are to be audited by specific components of the system.

Rationale:

Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system,
such as network interfaces, hard disks, modems, etc. From an application perspective,
certain specific application functionalities may be audited as well.

The list of audited events is the set of events for which audits are to be generated. This set
of events is typically a subset of the list of all events for which the system is capable of
generating audit records (i.e., auditable events, time stamps, source and destination
addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames
involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked).

Organizations may define the organizational personnel accountable for determining which
application components shall provide auditable events.
