The county wants ongoing proof that privacy and security controls for resident services stay in place—not only a once-a-year binder review. Which approach best matches compliance monitoring?

Compliance monitoring uses ongoing due diligence and due care, attestation where individuals or vendors affirm obligations, and automation to test or collect evidence that controls remain effective. Continuous or scheduled automated checks reduce reliance on infrequent manual binder reviews. The goal is early detection of control failure or policy drift before an audit or incident.
