First move
This control is evidenced by people and documents, not systems. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date. Do not try to automate it.
Common gaps auditors find
- inventory exported to a spreadsheet quarterly
- untagged resources excluded from reporting
- security team dependent on platform teams for asset data
