ADMIN-ISM-0109 Event logs from workstations are analysed in a timely manner to detect cyber security events
Event logs from workstations are analysed in a timely manner to detect cyber security events. Required at Maturity Level Three of the Restrict administrative privileges mitigation strategy (Appendix C); ISM control ISM-0109 in ASD's Essential Eight to ISM mapping (December 2023). ASD lists this event logging and incident requirement under Restrict administrative privileges, so it is assessed for the events this strategy generates.

Each row is an ISM control the maturity model requires, with the maturity levels named in its text. Pick your target maturity level and use the rows for it.
These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.
