Configure the DBMS's auditing to audit standard and organization-defined auditable events, the audit record to include the outcome. If preferred, use a third-party or custom tool.
If using a third-party product, proceed in accordance with the product documentation. If using Oracle's capabilities, proceed as follows.
If Standard Auditing is used:
Use this process to ensure auditable events are captured:
ALTER SYSTEM SET AUDIT_TRAIL=<audit trail type> SCOPE=SPFILE;
Audit trail type can be 'OS', 'DB', 'DB,EXTENDED', 'XML' or 'XML,EXTENDED'.
After executing this statement, it may be necessary to shut down and restart the Oracle database.
If unified Auditing is used:
To ensure auditable events are captured:
Link the oracle binary with uniaud_on, and then restart the database.
Oracle Database Upgrade Guide describes how to enable unified auditing.
For more information on the configuration of auditing, refer to the following documents:
"Auditing Database Activity" in the Oracle Database 2 Day + Security Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/TDPSG/tdpsg_auditing.htm#TDPSG50000
"Monitoring Database Activity with Auditing" in the Oracle Database Security Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/DBSEG/part_6.htm#CCHEHCGI
"DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT" in the Oracle Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference:

Verify, using vendor and system documentation if necessary, that the DBMS is configured to use Oracle's auditing features, or that a third-party product or custom code is deployed and configured to satisfy this requirement.
If a third-party product or custom code is used, compare its current configuration with the audit requirements. If any of the requirements is not covered by the configuration, this is a finding.
The remainder of this Check is applicable specifically where Oracle auditing is in use.
If Standard Auditing is used:
To see if Oracle is configured to capture audit data, enter the following SQL*Plus command:
SHOW PARAMETER AUDIT_TRAIL
or the following SQL query:
SELECT * FROM SYS.V$PARAMETER WHERE NAME = 'audit_trail';
If Oracle returns the value 'NONE', this is a finding.
To confirm that Oracle audit is capturing sufficient information to establish outcomes, perform a successful auditable action and an auditable action that results in an SQL error, and then view the results in the SYS.AUD$ table or the audit file, whichever is in use.
If no return code or other outcome information is returned for the auditable action just performed, this is a finding.
If error is indicated for the successful action, this is a finding. If no error is indicated for the unsuccessful action, this is a finding.
If Unified Auditing is used:
To see if Oracle is configured to capture audit data, enter the following SQL*Plus command:
SELECT * FROM V$OPTION WHERE PARAMETER = 'Unified Auditing';
If Oracle returns the value "TRUE", this is not a finding.
To confirm that Oracle audit is capturing sufficient information to establish outcomes, perform a successful auditable action and an auditable action that results in an SQL error, and then view the results in the SYS.UNIFIED_AUDIT_TRAIL view.
If no return code or other outcome information is returned for the auditable action just performed, this is a finding.
If error is indicated for the successful action, this is a finding.
If no error is indicated for the unsuccessful action, this is a finding.
