LOG-03: Security Monitoring and Alerting
Security Monitoring and Alerting
LOG-03: Are security-related events identified and monitored within applications and the underlying infrastructure?

Implementation of application security monitoring should include the following components:
a. Generation of alerts from metrics indicating risks beyond established thresholds.
b. Categorization of risks based on business impact analysis and prioritized monitoring of high-impact risks.
c. Consideration of automation capabilities (when applicable) to streamline application security monitoring.
d. Reporting and/or dashboard to provide real-time visibility to security and business stakeholders on application security statuses.
e. Periodic review of monitoring capabilities and processes by a combined group of security, IT and, business stakeholders.


Not applicable - A “N/A” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is out of scope of the assessment. The “SSRM control ownership” column is to be left blank (e.g., greyed out), and optionally the CSP may explain why it is the case (“CSP Implementation Description”).
No - A “No” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is not implemented, while in scope of the assessment. The CSP has to assign the implementation responsibility of the control to the relevant party under column “SSRM control ownership”, and optionally elaborate on the “why” (has not been implemented), and “what” has to be done for its implementation by that party.
Yes - A “Yes” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is implemented. The CSP indicates the responsible and accountable parties (SSRM control ownership), and optionally elaborates on the implementation “how-to” per relevant party CSP and/or CSC.
CSP-owned - The CSP is entirely responsible and accountable for the CCM control implementation.
CSC-owned - The Cloud Service Customer (CSC) is entirely responsible and accountable for the CCM control implementation.
Third-party - The third-party CSP in the supply chain (e.g., an IaaS provider) is responsible for CCM control implementation, while the CSP is fully accountable.
Shared CSP and CSC - Both the CSP and CSC share CCM control implementation responsibility and accountability.
Shared CSP and third party - Any CCM control implementation responsibility is shared between CSP and the third party, but the CSP remains fully accountable.
Description

Identify and monitor security-related events within applications and the underlying infrastructure. Define and implement a system to generate alerts to responsible stakeholders based on such events and corresponding metrics.

Security Monitoring and Alerting
LOG-03: Is a system defined and implemented to generate alerts to responsible stakeholders based on security events and their corresponding metrics?
