Review of Monitored Sites
LOW MODERATE HIGHRequirements NIST SOURCE
Review the list of open-source information sites being monitored [frequency].
Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)
Reviewing the current list of open-source information sites being monitored on a regular basis helps to ensure that the selected sites remain relevant. The review also provides the opportunity to add new open-source information sites with the potential to provide evidence of unauthorized disclosure of organizational information. The list of sites monitored can be guided and informed by threat intelligence of other credible sources of information.
Implementation Guidance

No engineering interpretation has been authored for AU-13(2) yet. This section is architected to receive it — see the Requirements and Assessment sections above for the authoritative NIST source content in the meantime.
Assessment
Assessment Objectives
- the frequency at which to review the open-source information sites being monitored is defined;
- the list of open-source information sites being monitored is reviewed <AU-13(02)_ODP frequency>.

STIGs & CCIs
No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for AU-13(2). This section is architected to display, per product: STIG ID, Finding ID, Severity, Title, Description, Check, Fix, CCI, and NIST control mapping — but nothing is populated here until a real DISA STIG/CCI dataset is ingested.
