| Description |
|---|
| The ability to set access permissions and auditing is critical to maintaining the security and proper access controls of a system. To support this, volumes must be formatted using a file system that supports NTFS attributes. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Open "Computer Management". Select "Disk Management" under "Storage". For each local volume, if the file system does not indicate "NTFS", this is a finding. "ReFS" (resilient file system) is also acceptable and would not be a finding. This does not apply to system partitions such the Recovery and EFI System Partition. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Format volumes to use NTFS or ReFS. |
