Monitor Security Alerts and Advisories

CMMC-RP Certified Team 24+ Years Experience 2,500+ Clients Served

Official Requirement

Monitor system security alerts and advisories and take appropriate actions in response.

What This Means in Plain English

Stay informed about new security threats and vulnerabilities by monitoring alerts from vendors, CISA, and security feeds. When relevant alerts are received, evaluate the threat and take appropriate action.

How Petronella Implements This Control

Petronella Technology Group implements this control through:

  • CISA alerts and advisories monitored by the security team via email subscription
  • Vendor security advisories (Microsoft, Fortinet, Sophos, CrowdStrike) reviewed upon release
  • Arctic Wolf Concierge Security Team providing curated threat intelligence relevant to PTG's environment
  • Weekly security briefing reviewing new alerts and advisories
  • ComplianceArmor tracking advisory receipt, assessment, and response actions

Assessment Guidance

Assessors will verify that the organization monitors security alerts and advisories, check that alerts are assessed for applicability, review actions taken in response to recent advisories, and confirm that alert monitoring is documented.

Common Implementation Gaps

  • No monitoring of security alerts or advisories
  • Alerts received but not reviewed or acted upon
  • No process for assessing alert applicability to the environment
  • No documentation of response actions taken
  • Vendor security bulletins not subscribed to
