Continuous Monitor Efforts for Annual eMASS Compliance

It’s critically important that eMASS controls are monitored throughout the year, a concept commonly known as “continuous monitoring”. Centris can assist with these efforts. Specifically, we can regularly test controls, update policies and procedures, provide reporting to management, and much more. No organization wants controls that have failed throughout the year and no oversight, as this is a recipe for disaster when it comes to ATO re-designation in subsequent years.
