Explanation
Continuous monitoring is an ongoing process that begins after a system has received its initial security accreditation (Authorization to Operate). Its purpose is to track the security posture of the system over time, detect changes, and ensure that controls remain effective. It is not a pre-accreditation activity; accreditation must first be granted, and then continuous monitoring sustains the assurance of security on a post-accreditation, ongoing basis.
