File Activity Monitoring
Document governance and accountability for file access and modification monitoring.
Overview
Many estates lack consistent governance for monitoring file access and modification. Procurement and deployment choices vary across teams, decision rights are unclear and retention practices differ, creating uneven monitoring coverage, inconsistent operational responses and weak audit evidence for access and change events.
File Activity Monitoring defines a documented governance scope and an accountability model that assigns roles, decision rights and monitoring requirements. It specifies event classification and retention rules so teams have measurable control and clear audit responsibilities, while excluding implementation steps, procurement specifics, unrelated endpoint security functions and wider data classification programmes.
