Continuous control monitoring

Continuous Control Monitoring

Audits prove your controls worked on one day. Continuous control monitoring proves they keep working every day. CATAAM automatically re-checks your SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA & PCI-DSS controls and alerts you on drift — so you stay audit-ready year-round, not just at audit time.

Always-on control checks

CATAAM re-runs each control check on a schedule instead of once a year — your compliance posture is live, not a snapshot.

Drift alerts in hours

When a control falls out of compliance, you get a CCM alert immediately — and a Jira issue if you want one — not a surprise at audit time.

Proves controls actually work

Built-in breach & attack simulation and internal attack surface monitoring verify controls stop real attacks, not just that they exist.

Type II evidence by default

Continuous, timestamped checks build the operating-effectiveness history a SOC 2 Type II report needs — automatically.

How continuous control monitoring works

01

Map controls once

Pre-mapped SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS & NIST controls — one check can satisfy several frameworks via cross-framework mapping.

02

Monitor continuously

Scheduled checks re-verify each control and harvest fresh evidence around the clock.

03

Alert on drift

A failing control raises a CCM alert with evidence and (optionally) opens a remediation ticket.

04

Verify the fix

When the issue is resolved, CATAAM re-runs the check to confirm the remediation is genuine before closing it out.

Continuous Control Monitoring FAQ

What is continuous control monitoring (CCM)?
Continuous control monitoring is the practice of automatically and repeatedly checking that your security and compliance controls are still operating effectively — instead of testing them once a year before an audit. CATAAM re-runs control checks on a schedule and raises an alert the moment a control drifts out of compliance.
How is CCM different from a point-in-time audit?
A point-in-time audit proves controls worked on one day. CCM proves they keep working every day. That continuous, timestamped history is exactly what a SOC 2 Type II report needs, and it means problems are caught in hours instead of at the next audit.
Which frameworks does CATAAM monitor?
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS and NIST CSF. A single control check can satisfy multiple frameworks thanks to cross-framework mapping, so one monitor covers overlapping requirements.
What happens when a control fails?
CATAAM raises a CCM alert with the failing control and evidence, and can open a Jira issue for remediation. When the issue is resolved, the underlying check is re-run to verify the fix actually worked — not just that the ticket was closed.
Does CCM include security testing, or just configuration checks?
Both. Beyond configuration and evidence checks, CATAAM runs continuous breach & attack simulation and internal attack surface monitoring, so you prove controls actually stop attacks — not just that they exist on paper.
