European Union Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Technical and Methodological Requirements for NIS2 Risk-Management Measures

Lay down procedures and use tools to monitor and log activities on your network and information systems, maintain, document and review the logs, and establish a list of the assets to be subject to logging based on your risk assessment. Where appropriate, include in the logs network traffic, changes to users and permissions, access to systems and applications, authentication events, privileged and administrator activity, access to or changes of critical configuration and backup files, security tool logs, use of system resources, physical access, use of network equipment, and the activation, stopping and pausing of logs, and environmental events. Review the logs regularly for unusual or unwanted trends and start a qualified response in a timely manner when an alarm is triggered. Maintain and back up the logs for a predefined period, protect them from unauthorized access or changes, and, to the extent feasible, synchronize the time sources of all systems and make your monitoring and logging systems redundant (points 3.2.1 and 3.2.3 to 3.2.6).

European Union DORA Technical Standards on ICT Risk Management Tools, Methods, Processes and Policies and the Simplified ICT Risk Management Framework

Develop, document and implement logging procedures, protocols and tools that identify the events to be logged and the retention period (set it taking into account your business and information security objectives, the reason for recording the event in the logs and the results of your ICT risk assessment), log events related to access control, identity management, capacity management, change management, ICT operations and network traffic, protect logs against tampering, deletion and unauthorized access, detect failures of logging systems, and synchronize the clocks of your ICT systems to a documented reliable reference time source (Article 12).

European Union Payment Services Technical Standards on Strong Customer Authentication, Personalized Security Credentials and Common and Secure Open Standards of Communication

Ensure secure identification when communicating between the payer's device and the payee's acceptance devices for electronic payments, and effectively mitigate the risks of misdirection of communication to unauthorized parties in mobile applications and other interfaces offering electronic payment services. Have processes that make all payment transactions and other interactions traceable, with a unique identifier of each communication session, detailed logging of the transaction and timestamps synchronized according to an official time signal (Articles 28 and 29).

Morocco Loi n° 05-20 relative à la cybersécurité, Digital Service Provider and Platform Operator Security Duties

New York New York Department of Financial Services Cybersecurity Regulation, Malicious Code Protection and Class A Company Monitoring Solutions

If you are a Class A company as 23 NYCRR 500.1(d) defines it, implement an endpoint detection and response solution to monitor anomalous activity, including lateral movement, and a solution that centralizes logging and security event alerting, unless your Chief Information Security Officer has approved in writing the use of reasonably equivalent or more secure compensating controls.

Sierra Leone Cyber Security and Crime Act, 2021, Critical National Information Infrastructure

If your system, data, or traffic data is designated, meet the minimum standards, guidelines, rules, or procedures the Presidential Order prescribes, which section 7(2) requires to cover at least securing systems by default and logging system and user activity for audit, and permit the National Computer Security Incidence Response Team to audit and inspect the designated infrastructure at any time.
