Alert defined personnel on audit logging process failures; take defined actions when failures occur.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 13 controls across 10 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

PCI DSS 4.0 · 4 controls

  • 10.2.1.6 10.2.1.6 Logs capture initialization and stopping of audit logs
  • 10.7.1 10.7.1 Service providers detect critical control failures (superseded)
  • 10.7.2 10.7.2 Detect and alert on critical security control failures
  • 10.7.3 10.7.3 Respond promptly to critical security control failures

Other controls in 03.03 AU (Audit and Accountability)

You are reading one control. How much of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 have you already done?

NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 03.03.04 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 your existing evidence covers. Hold PCI DSS 4.0 and 69 of 97 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 0 were rejected on the PCI DSS 4.0 pair alone.
