Continuous Control Monitoring
Description
Key Features
Near-real-time control-break detection
The CCM AI Analyst maps controls to asset properties and monitors for deviations continuously. Alerts are generated when monitored assets diverge from their mapped control requirements.
Full control coverage
Cyber Sierra describes monitoring 100% of controls continuously rather than relying on periodic sampling. This provides ongoing visibility across the control inventory.
Live-system control testing
The platform connects to live systems through 140+ integrations, including AWS, Azure, and GCP, to test controls directly against source data.
Automated finding routing
Detected deviations are routed to the owning IAM, application, or remediation team with relevant context so issues can be acted on without manual email handoffs.
AI evidence auditing
The Evidence Auditor AI Analyst reviews evidence such as PDFs, Word documents, and screenshots against mapped controls and provides compliance ratings with written reasoning.
Multi-framework control management
The platform supports control management across frameworks including ISO 27001, SOC 2, ISO 27701, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, and custom control frameworks.
Benefits
Shorter exposure windows
Near-real-time alerts help teams identify control failures soon after they occur instead of waiting for the next quarterly or annual review.
Reduced manual evidence collection
Live integrations and automated evidence review reduce the need to gather and assess screenshots and documents manually for each audit cycle.
Improved remediation accountability
Findings are assigned to responsible teams, helping organizations track control breaks through remediation rather than merely documenting them.
Continuous audit readiness
Ongoing control validation, evidence review, and audit trails help organizations maintain a current view of compliance posture between formal audits.
Use Cases
Continuous compliance assurance
Monitor controls across multiple regulatory and security frameworks continuously and identify deviations before they become audit findings.
Cloud configuration control monitoring
Test controls against AWS, Azure, and GCP data to identify cloud asset properties that no longer satisfy required security controls.
Vulnerability and asset control correlation
Connect vulnerability tools and CMDB data to associate vulnerabilities with asset criticality and mapped control requirements.
Audit evidence validation
Review evidence files against mapped controls with written reasoning and compliance ratings to accelerate audit preparation.
Enterprise remediation workflows
Route control failures to IAM, application, ITSM, or remediation owners and track the issue toward closure.
