Educational resource only. scm.cc is not a FedRAMP Recognized Independent Assessor (3PAO) and is not FedRAMP-authorized; it grants no authorization, certification, or assessment outcome. FedRAMP.gov is the authoritative source. This is not legal advice.
Technical detail
KSI-MLA-ALA is marked Class C in the catalog. Official related controls on the family include SI-11, CA-7, CM-2, CM-6, SI-7. A Class C marker is a catalog fact, not a claim that scm.cc has verified ALA. Catalog family title: Events are centrally logged, reviewed, and configurations evaluated.. Indicators on this page: KSI-MLA-ALA, KSI-MLA-EVC, KSI-MLA-LET, KSI-MLA-OSM, KSI-MLA-RVL.
How to implement
Centralize logs with retention and integrity. Keep the event-type list dated. Treat ALA as unmet until a stored least-privilege log-access source exists.
Common mistakes
- Local syslog on a laptop as the SIEM. - Treating KSI-MLA-ALA as verified without a stored source.
