What is Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM)?
Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) is the process of continuously assessing the effectiveness of Security Controls to ensure they are functioning as intended. It provides real-time visibility into control performance and compliance status.
CCM integrates with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) programs and supports frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53 and ISO/IEC 27001.
What is Continuous Control Monitoring used for?
CCM is used to detect control failures, identify gaps, and ensure ongoing compliance with security standards. It enables organizations to move from periodic audits to continuous assurance.
Security teams use CCM to improve Security Posture, support Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), and ensure that controls remain effective against evolving threats.
