The control as we hold it
Audit Controls (Standard). Implement hardware, software, and procedural mechanisms that record and examine activity in information systems that contain or use ePHI. NIST recommends central log management aligned to SP 800-92.

What an auditor commonly asks for
General guidance for this control area (domain: Technical), in our words, not a statement of the standard and not binding on an assessor.
- the unique-user and access-control records
- the audit-log configuration and review records
- the integrity and encryption records for ePHI in transit
