Between scheduled control tests, a hospital's continuous indicator shows repeated access-review breaches on a clinical application. What should happen in compliance?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Continuous indicators are the smoke alarm between fire drills. When they scream, open a compliance issue now — do not wait for the next scheduled test to notice the smoke.
Full Explanation
Continuous monitoring feeds compliance between formal tests by surfacing indicator breaches that reopen or create issues. That keeps the control environment current rather than relying solely on periodic attestation. Ignoring breaches, auto-marking controls effective, or removing indicators breaks the continuous-compliance feedback loop.
