Stream All Security Events to SIEM in Real-Time for CIS Benchmark Compliance

Learn how LOG-03 helps you meet CIS Benchmark requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.

Organizations pursuing CIS Benchmark compliance need to address stream all security events to siem in real-time as part of their security program. The LOG-03 control maps directly to CIS Benchmark requirements, helping demonstrate compliance while strengthening your security posture.

How LOG-03 Addresses CIS Benchmark Requirements

CIS Benchmark requires organizations to implement controls around stream all security events to siem in real-time. The LOG-03 control provides:

  • All Entra ID sign-in and audit logs stream to SIEM in real-time
  • Custom detection rules alert on suspicious patterns
  • Log retention is at least 2 years for compliance

These measures directly support CIS Benchmark compliance by ensuring proper logging security in your Microsoft 365 environment.

Implementation for Compliance

To satisfy CIS Benchmark requirements with this control:

  • **Enable the control** - Follow the manual configuration steps
  • **Document your implementation** - Record how the control was configured
  • **Maintain evidence** - TrueConfig automatically logs compliance status
  • **Monitor continuously** - Track any deviations from the expected state

Evidence Collection

For CIS Benchmark audits, you'll need to demonstrate:

  • Current configuration state
  • Historical compliance data
  • Remediation actions taken
  • Continuous monitoring in place

TrueConfig provides all of this evidence through its audit trail and reporting features.

Why This Control Matters for CIS Benchmark

Real-time log streaming enables immediate threat detection and correlation across your security stack. Level 3 organizations can detect and respond to attacks within minutes, not days.

Implementing LOG-03 is an important step toward CIS Benchmark compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to CIS Benchmark requirements.
