4. True Money’s standards for database audit trails and logging should be formally established.
Findings:
During the review period, we noted that True Corporate Security Policy requires all information system to log and/or keep all activities of database administrators and relevant officers performed in the system.
From our observation and discussion with the Database Admin Team, we noted that the audit trail configurations/parameters were partially turned on due to some limitation of system space and processing capability. Currently, the audit configurations/parameters were turned on based on the concept of not interrupting daily business data processing.
However, there was no formal and explicit documentation to support the mentioned configurations as Tme Money has to comply with the Corporate Security Policy.
Business Impact:
Inadequate database audit trails and logging may lead to some database administrative privileges performed without logging and management monitoring. And inadequate documentation may result in lack of current system software configuration information for planning and managing future modification/changes.
Recommendations for Implementation Priorities: Medium
