Mapped to NIST 800-171 Requirement: 3.10.5
CMMC Assessment Objective: PE.L2-3.10.5[b]
What This Control Means
After identifying which logs should be reviewed (PE.L2-3.10.5[a]), you must ensure those logs and review requirements are documented in your policies, procedures, or system security plan (SSP).
The documentation should:
• Identify the specific log types to be reviewed
• Define the review frequency
• Assign ownership to a role or individual
• Outline escalation steps for suspicious activity
Why It Matters
Documentation ensures that your review process is consistent, repeatable, and enforceable. Without it:
• Reviews may happen irregularly (or not at all)
• Logs may be overlooked during audits
• No one may be accountable for catching unauthorized access
• Incident investigations may be delayed due to missing review data
Written procedures turn review into a compliance-ready security control.
How to Implement It
1. Create or Update Your Physical Security Documentation Include log review procedures in:
• Physical Security Policy
• System Security Plan (SSP)
• Visitor Access Policy
• Access Control Procedures
2. Define Each Log Type That Requires Review Examples:
• Badge swipe logs
• Visitor sign-in sheets
• Manual logs from remote facilities
• Surveillance logs (if used for access tracking)
3. Assign Roles and Frequencies Document:
• Who is responsible for each log type
• How often reviews occur (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)
• What happens if suspicious activity is found
4. Include Templates or Checklists Provide sample log review forms or review confirmation templates
5. Align with PE.L2-3.10.4 Ensure your log maintenance (PE.L2-3.10.4) and review documentation are consistent
Evidence the Assessor Will Look For
• Policy or procedure that outlines log review responsibilities
• Excerpts from your SSP documenting log types and review frequency
• Checklists or SOPs that detail how to perform the review
• Training or role descriptions assigning log review responsibility
• Completed documentation from previous log review events
Common Gaps
• Reviews occur, but are undocumented
• No definition of which logs matter most for physical access tracking
• Staff unclear about who should be reviewing what
• Inconsistent review cycles or missed logs
