Fix Recommendation

Where possible, configure the operating system to automatic synchronize with an official time server, using NTP.

Where there is reason not to implement automatic synchronization with an official time server, using NTP, document the reason, and the procedure for maintaining the correct time, and obtain AO approval. Enforce the procedure.

Check Contents

Verify that the Windows operating system is configured to synchronize with an official time server, using Network Time Protocol (NTP).

If it is not, and this is not documented, with justification and AO authorization, this is a finding.

If the OS does not synchronize with a time server, review the procedure for maintaining accurate time on the system.

If such a procedure does not exist, this is a finding.

If the procedure exists, review evidence that the correct time is actually maintained.

If the evidence indicates otherwise, this is a finding.
