Use internal system clocks to generate time stamps for audit records; synchronize to authoritative time source.
What else in your programme already covers this
This control maps to 20 controls across 14 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
SC-45 System Time Synchronization. Synchronize system clocks within and between systems and system components
SC-45(1) System Time Synchronization | Synchronization with Authoritative Time Source. (a) Compare the internal system clocks [Assignment: organization-defined frequency] with [Assignment: organization-defined authoritative time source]; and (b) Synchronize the internal system clocks to the authoritative

You are reading one control. How much of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 have you already done?
NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 03.03.07 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 your existing evidence covers. Hold PCI DSS 4.0 and 69 of 97 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 controls already carry evidence.
Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 0 were rejected on the PCI DSS 4.0 pair alone.
