Fix Recommendation

Configure the DBMS's settings to allow designated personnel to select which auditable events are audited.

Note: In Oracle, any user can configure auditing for the objects in their own schema by using the AUDIT statement. To undo the audit configuration for an object, the user can use the NOAUDIT statement. No additional privileges are needed to perform this task.

To audit objects in another schema, the user must have the AUDIT ANY system privilege.

To audit system privileges, the user must have the AUDIT SYSTEM privilege.

For more information on the configuration of auditing, refer to the following documents:

"Monitoring Database Activity with Auditing" in the Oracle Database Security Guide:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/dbseg/part_6.html

Check Contents

Check database management system (DBMS) settings and documentation to determine whether designated personnel are able to select which auditable events are being audited.

If designated personnel are not able to configure auditable events, this is a finding.
