  2. 3.14.3[b]system security alerts and advisories are monitored.
  3. 3.14.3[c]actions in response to system security alerts and advisories are taken.

Inside Valontir, this requirement carries a full plain-English guide: what it asks in normal words, what good looks like in a small shop, the evidence an assessor accepts, the common gaps that cost points, and a plain reading of every assessment objective shown above. See it in a demo.
