An analyst wants to standardize security requirements across multiple systems using a uniform structure that supports automated measurement. Which method offers guidelines in a defined markup so these assessments are consistently enforced?
Use local text-based scripts that output unstructured logs
Maintain a collection of spreadsheets to track each system manually
Adopt an interactive dashboard focused on visual categorization
Rely on an established schema that organizes rules in an XML-based format
A recognized schema that organizes requirements in an XML-based format provides consistent benchmarks, offering automated checks and reporting to stay aligned with security standards. Spreadsheets and plain logs do not supply structured rules for automated verification. A web dashboard can show compliance reports but does not define standardized rule sets for consistent enforcement.
