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
- Multifactor applied to remote access only, missing local privileged access
- Exemptions granted for service or legacy accounts without compensating control
- Second factor is another knowledge factor
