AU-5(4)—Response To Audit Processing Failures
Technical
>Control Description
RESPONSE TO AUDIT PROCESSING FAILURES | SHUTDOWN ON FAILURE The information system invokes a ☑full system shutdown; partial system shutdown; degraded operational mode with limited mission/business functionality available in the event of ⚙organization-defined audit failures, unless an alternate audit capability exists.
>Supplemental Guidance
Organizations determine the types of audit failures that can trigger automatic information system shutdowns or degraded operations. Because of the importance of ensuring mission/business continuity, organizations may determine that the nature of the audit failure is not so severe that it warrants a complete shutdown of the information system supporting the core organizational missions/business operations. In those instances, partial information system shutdowns or operating in a degraded mode with reduced capability may be viable alternatives.
