First move
Start with the 1 of 4 artefacts that already live in a system (Vulnerability scanner / patch tooling); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- classification policy with no discovery run behind it
- scanning limited to structured stores, ignoring file shares and object storage
- labels applied once and never refreshed as data moves
Do this for your whole sheet
Paste the rows you run your controls from and get this mapping for every control at once, with the periodic-review ones flagged and a first move per row. No account for the first run.
