AU-4: Audit Log Storage Capacity

Control Text:

Allocate audit log storage capacity to accommodate [Assignment: organization-defined audit log retention requirements].

Organizations consider the types of audit logging to be performed and the audit log processing requirements when allocating audit log storage capacity. Allocating sufficient audit log storage capacity reduces the likelihood of such capacity being exceeded and resulting in the potential loss or reduction of audit logging capability.
