Verify that a separate file system/partition has been created for the system audit data path with the following command:

Note: /var/log/audit is used as the example as it is a common location.

$ findmnt /var/log/audit

TARGET         SOURCE                                                FSTYPE OPTIONS
/var/log/audit /dev/mapper/luks-29b74747-2f82-4472-82f5-0b5eb763effc xfs    rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota

If no line is returned, this is a finding.
