Network Traffic Analysis
Assign accountable ownership and documented governance for network traffic analysis.
Overview
Many estates lack defined ownership, retention rules and access controls for network traffic analysis data. Without documented governance it is unclear who is accountable for risk and compliance, and telemetry handling differs between teams, reducing its value for observability and threat response.
This solution assigns accountable ownership, records roles and risk responsibilities, and defines policies for collection, storage, access, retention and authorised use. It provides governance artefacts and measurable compliance criteria while excluding routine operational support, implementation delivery, device configuration and incident response execution so governance stays separate from operations.
