Continuous monitoring allows management to have greater insight into the entity’s current state of compliance. Typically, for IT, continuous monitoring involves ongoing automated testing of selected datum within a given process area against a suite of control protocols. Management can utilize this information to set or reset process guidelines, rules and tests; through applied analytics identifying performance gaps or unusual events that may suggest control failures. This type of continuous monitoring can exist in IT hardware, firmware or software enabled to observe and record automated activities. Therefore, automated continuous monitoring provides a timely feedback mechanism for management to ensure that configuration items and controls are operating as designed and datum are processed appropriately.
