What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 3 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

CIS Controls v8 · 1 control

  • CIS-13.3 Deploy a Network Intrusion Detection Solution

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 · 1 control

  • NIST-CSF-DE.CM-01 Networks and network services are monitored to find potentially adverse events

New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM) · 1 control

  • 18.4.11.C.01 18.4.11.C.01 Log and alert on flows breaching firewall rules

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
