# DE.CM-05 DE.CM-05
> **Subcategory of:** Continuous Monitoring (DE.CM)
## High-Level Description
**Function:** DETECT (DE)
**Framework:** NIST Cybersecurity Framework v2.0
Unauthorized mobile code is detected
## What to Check
- [ ] Verify DE.CM-05 DE.CM-05 outcome is achieved
- [ ] Review documentation and evidence for DE.CM-05
- [ ] Assess organizational maturity for DETECT function
- [ ] Map to SP 800-53 controls that satisfy DE.CM-05
## How to Test
### Step 1: Identify Current Profile
Determine the organization's current and target CSF profile tier for DE.CM-05.
### Step 2: Assess Outcome Achievement
```
# Review organizational policies and procedures
# Check for evidence that DE.CM-05 outcome is met
# Interview stakeholders responsible for DETECT
```
### Step 3: Map to Technical Controls
Identify which SP 800-53 controls implement this CSF outcome and verify their operating effectiveness.
