Card environment log review
The shortest fixed clock in the held texts is 24 hours (daily), set by PCI DSS 10.4.1. Paste one job that feeds this consumer, for example card_env_log_review, weekly, and the register reads its period against the clocks below, names the gap in hours, and carries the question for its owner.
Matched on the job name or the consumer column by these words: card env log, card environment log, cde log, cde, cardholder log, pci log, pan environment log, CDE log review, PCI log review.

What an assessor asks to see: log_collection_policy; log_storage_and_protection; log_review_and_analysis; log_retention_and_disposal. Where it usually falls short: Inconsistent log collection across systems
Requires audit records to be reviewed and analysed on a defined frequency for indications of organization-defined inappropriate or unusual activity and its likely impact, findings to be reported to defined personnel, and the depth of review to be increased when credible information changes the risk.
What an assessor asks to see: Defined review frequency and the activity indicators being looked for; Completed review records with reviewer, date and findings; Reports issued to the defined recipients and evidence of follow-up; Record of a review level adjustment made in response to changed risk. Where it usually falls short: Review is automated alerting only, with no periodic analytical review for slow patterns
