Which of the following is the MOST important course of action when implementing continuous monitoring...

The AAISM governance framework specifies that the foundation of continuous monitoring is real-time tracking of key risk indicators. This ensures immediate detection of deviations, model drift, and operational anomalies. Automated alerts, dashboards, and reporting templates all support monitoring, but they rely on the presence of accurate, real-time KRI measurement as their source. Without live monitoring, the other controls are reactive rather than proactive. The most important course of action in establishing effective continuous monitoring is therefore real-time KRI tracking.
