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
- Data released on the strength of the agency's assertion alone
- Approval given verbally with no signed authorisation retained
- No request has ever been declined, suggesting the assessment is not a real gate
- Release made while the legal assessment was still open
