This requirement reduces risk in secure cloud configuration management by ensuring configuration monitoring is defined, consistently implemented and demonstrably effective across cloud environments. It supports the organization's need to secure cloud-based assets, data and services while managing cloud-specific risk.
Continuously or periodically monitor configuration changes and security-relevant settings. Alert on unauthorized or high-risk changes and retain evidence.
