Description
The systemd_timesyncd service should be installed.
Rationale
Time synchronization (using NTP) is required by almost all network and administrative tasks (syslog, cryptographic based services (authentication, etc.), etc.). systemd_timesyncd is a part of the systemd suite and acts as a NTP client.
Shell script
The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if [ ! -f /.dockerenv ] && [ ! -f /run/.containerenv ]; then
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y "systemd-timesyncd"
else
>&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi
