That could also be a failure in a CIS Control, as it can impact the accuracy of log timestamps.

I believe the key here is that scenario D involves logs from undocumented servers, which poses a bigger risk.

Ooh, good point. And option B with different timezone values could be a failure in both log management and asset inventory controls.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Option C with the loghost being out-of-sync with an external host could also be a failure in multiple controls, like time synchronization and log management.

I'm leaning towards option D. Having undocumented servers sending out-of-sync logs sounds like a pretty major problem that would likely impact multiple controls.

Yeah, it's not straightforward. We'll need to really think through each option and how it relates to the CIS Controls.
