DE.CM-07
Does your organization implement continuous monitoring to detect unauthorized personnel, connections, devices, and software?
Explanation
Continuous monitoring involves real-time or near real-time surveillance of your environment to identify security anomalies such as unauthorized access attempts, unknown devices connecting to your network, or unapproved software installations. This includes tools like intrusion detection systems (IDS), security information and event management (SIEM) solutions, network monitoring tools, and access control logs that alert security personnel to potential threats. Evidence of fulfillment could include screenshots of monitoring dashboards, alert configuration settings, monitoring system logs, documented procedures for responding to detected anomalies, and reports showing detected and remediated incidents over a recent time period.
