First move
Start with the 1 of 4 artefacts that already live in a system (Identity provider / directory); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Shared administrator credentials in daily use, so actions cannot be traced to a person
- Elevated rights granted open-ended despite a stated requirement for time limitation
- Privileged activity is collected centrally but no rule notifies an accountable owner
