What is an Event Logging and System Monitoring Policy?
The Event Logging and System Monitoring Policy outlines the requirements for log management and system monitoring to help ensure issues are identified promptly and that they can be fully investigated.
This policy is used to outline what information should be captured in logs, how the logs will be monitored and who with your company is responsible for the associated processes.
Why is an Event Logging and System Monitoring Policy important?
It is important that processes are in place to capture user activity, exceptions, faults and information security events so that when issues occur they can be fully investigated. Equally as important, is the need to monitor those logs and for clear procedures to be agreed to ensure issues are promptly identified and fully investigated.
Procedures should be in place to monitor system performance so that trends and constraints are identified before they become issues and affect the operational performance of the company. System surveillance should include oversight and management of system capacity.
For companies working on InfoSec Certification, the ISO 27001 standard has requirements for logging and monitoring policies, as well as capacity management. Therefore the Event Logging and System Monitoring Policy is part of the policies required for ISO 27001 certification.
