First move
Start with the 1 of 4 artefacts that already live in a system (Policy repository / GRC workspace); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Scheme grades confidentiality alone and omits integrity, availability and authenticity
- Protection levels assigned centrally by a central team instead of by the asset owner
- Almost all assets sit at the lowest level because no determination was performed
- Physical media carry no marking, so the handling rules cannot be applied in practice
