What is NIST 800-53 CA-7 Continuous Monitoring?

Question

Accepted Answer

NIST 800-53 CA-7 (Continuous Monitoring) requires organizations to maintain ongoing situational awareness of information security and privacy posture across the system boundary. For configuration-based controls, this means continuous benchmark scanning rather than annual or quarterly point-in-time assessments. CA-7 is the requirement that disqualifies most legacy compliance tools from FedRAMP authorization paths.
