Vulnerability Discussion

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 the NTFS file system.

Check

Format all local volumes to use NTFS.

Fix

Run "Computer Management".
Navigate to Storage >> Disk Management.

If the "File System" column does not indicate "NTFS" for each volume assigned a drive letter, this is a finding.

This does not apply to system partitions such the Recovery and EFI System Partition.
