Review the system documentation and interview the application and system administrators.
Examine the system to determine if an automated, continuous on-line monitoring and audit trail creation capability is present with the capability to immediately alert personnel of any unusual or inappropriate activity with potential IA implications, and with a user configurable capability to automatically disable the system if serious IA violations are detected.
If this monitoring capability does not exist, this is a finding.
