Watch for a recurring evidence gap
Have Notis check a recurring control checklist and set up monitoring around a gap your team has defined.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create monitor
Creates a new datadog monitor to track metrics, logs, or other data sources with configurable alerting thresholds and notifications.
Why this helps
Evidence gaps can reappear between reviews when nobody is prompted to check the same controls consistently.
- Set a predictable review rhythm for a named checklist.
- Monitor a gap only when a measurable data condition is available.
- Keep the review rule explicit and repeatable.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 21risk and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the control review.
- 3Describe in one instruction the checklist, evidence gap, and measurable monitor condition to use.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real checklist example and verify the configured monitor.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically understand what evidence is missing?
It can assess only information available from the 21risk connection. Specify the evidence requirement and ensure the checklist exposes the relevant status.
What if the gap is not a metric?
A Datadog monitor needs a suitable measurable condition. Choose a different outcome, such as a scheduled Datadog event, if no such condition is available.
