A company is seeking to enhance its security posture by ensuring consistent enforcement and adherence to its established security policies and regulations. Which of the following methods is the BEST approach to achieve continuous compliance monitoring?
Conducting periodic manual checks to ensure policies and procedures are being followed.
Implementing automated compliance monitoring tools that provide real-time alerts and scheduled compliance reports.
Increasing the frequency of compliance training for employees to reinforce policy awareness.
Establishing regular feedback loops with employees to discuss potential improvements to compliance policies.
Automated compliance monitoring tools provide a continuous and objective means of enforcing and verifying compliance with security policies and regulations. They can offer real-time alerts and reports, thus enabling the security team to act swiftly on non-compliant issues. While all options could play a role in compliance monitoring, automated tools are specifically designed to provide ongoing assurance of compliance and therefore are the best choice for continuous monitoring. Manual compliance checks, though important, are more intermittent and subject to human error. Training enhances the awareness of compliance requirements but does not monitor compliance itself. Feedback loops aid in adjusting policies but do not conduct the actual monitoring.
