Cyber Assessment Framework mappings generated from UK Cabinet Office data.

Control ID Name Description
C1.e Monitoring Tools and Skills Monitoring staff skills, tools and roles, including any that are out sourced, should reflect governance and reporting requirements, expected threats and the complexities of the network or system data they need to use. Monitoring staff have knowledge of the essential functions they need to protect.
C1.c Generating Alerts Evidence of potential security incidents contained in your monitoring data is reliably identified and triggers alerts.
D2.a Incident Root Cause Analysis When an incident occurs, steps must be taken to understand its root causes and ensure appropriate remediating action is taken.
D1.a Response Plan You have an up-to-date incident response plan that is grounded in a thorough risk assessment that takes account of your essential function and covers a range of incident scenarios.
