Transmission Audit Framework
What This Framework Is
The Transmission Audit Framework provides a structured methodology for organizations to audit their data flow from creation to consumption. It identifies where data is created but never transmitted, where transmission exists but is incomplete, and where downstream consumers are unaware of available data.
When to Use It
- During infrastructure audits
- When planning integration projects
- After incidents reveal incomplete data visibility
- During SIEM or XDR evaluations
- When improving security operations effectiveness
Framework Components
Source System Inventory
What: Map all systems that create security-relevant data
Why: Establish baseline of data sources
Consumer Identification
What: Identify all systems and analysts that should consume data
Why: Understand data demand
Transmission Mapping
What: Document all transmission paths between sources and consumers
Why: Visualize data flow
Gap Analysis
What: Identify transmission gaps and missing paths
Why: Locate disconnected data
Prioritization
What: Rank transmission gaps by impact and feasibility
Why: Guide remediation
