Comply With NISPOM Security Audit Trail Analysis Standards
The National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), developed by the Department of Defense, sets comprehensive standards for protecting classified data. All government agencies and commercial contractors who have access to classified data are required to implement system protection processes to ensure continued availability and integrity of this data, and prevent its unauthorized disclosure. These regulations apply to systems used in the capture, creation, storage, processing or distribution of restricted information.
