UAH-ISM-1907 Event logs from non-internet-facing servers are analysed in a timely manner to detect cyber security events

Required at Maturity Level Three of the User application hardening mitigation strategy (Appendix C); ISM control ISM-1907 in ASD's Essential Eight to ISM mapping (December 2023). ASD lists this event logging and incident requirement under User application hardening, 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.
