Conducting a review of audit logs for anomalies is essential after implementing new security measures because it provides a direct analysis of system activities and user behaviors. This approach allows organizations to identify any irregularities or potential breaches that could indicate whether the new security measures are functioning as intended. Audit logs offer a historical record of events, which can be crucial in assessing the effectiveness of the security controls deployed. By scrutinizing these logs for anomalies, you can determine if there are any abnormalities that suggest non-compliance or security flaws, thus enabling proactive measures to address any issues before they escalate.
Team meetings can be helpful for gathering insights and discussing general observations, but they lack the concrete, data-driven analysis needed for compliance assessment. Similarly, while another risk assessment process may be beneficial for a broader evaluation of security vulnerabilities, it does not provide the immediate insights on compliance specifically linked to the new measures. Surveys can capture employee feedback, but they often reflect subjective opinions rather than objective security performance metrics; therefore, they might not give a clear picture of compliance in terms of technical security measures.
