First move
Start with the 1 of 4 artefacts that already live in a system (SIEM / log platform); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- broad write access to resource metadata across the estate
- no locks on production resources so accidental deletion is possible
- asset management actions not separately audited
