First move
Start with the 1 of 3 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
- Users hold local administrator rights so installation is unrestricted
- Control present but no monitoring of what was installed
- Browser extensions and portable applications out of scope
