Cybersecurity CCM Tools Recommended for Enterprise Companies

What are CCM Tools?

Continuous controls monitoring (CCM) tools automate the process of tracking and validating the effectiveness of controls designed to mitigate risks, such as maintaining cybersecurity, ensuring business continuity, and regulatory compliance. These tools continuously monitor controls by pulling relevant data from various business applications into a centralized platform. CCM tools help organizations improve their overall risk management by providing real-time visibility into control performance and enabling proactive risk mitigation.

According to Gartner:

Gartner quotes

This is a not-so-good situation for two reasons:

On the one hand, GRC vendors may not offer the full scale of capabilities required to effectively achieve CCM.
On the other hand, CCM tools that can’t address a broad array of threats often end up working in isolation.

In other words, a half-baked or point continuous control monitoring tool working in isolation isn’t worth it, per IBM’s Charles Henderson:

A solution to this?

An Interoperable CCM Platform

Most CCM platforms have full scale continuous control monitoring capabilities. But as Henderson stressed, implementing another point solution isn’t worth it. They often end up posing a threat to efficient cybersecurity. EY’s Asia-Pacific Cybersecurity Consulting Leader, Richard J. Watson corroborates:

So to help enterprises achieve continuous control monitoring without cluttering their tech stacks, we built Cyber Sierra. You get a pure-play CCM platform with built-in capabilities for remediating other cybersecurity challenges interoperably.

For instance, with our Controls Dashboard, enterprise teams can continuously monitor security controls by:

Asset categories or asset types
Compliance programs or frameworks:

As shown, you can assign risks associated with control breaks to teammates and monitor remediation status in real-time
