First move
Start with the 1 of 3 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
- Privileged functions blocked but execution not logged
- Logging enabled without covering privileged function use
- Local administrator rights on endpoints bypass the restriction
