First move
This control is evidenced by people and documents, not systems. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date. Do not try to automate it.
Common gaps auditors find
- Personnel controlled while tools are unmanaged
- Technicians bring unapproved diagnostic tools on site
- No authorization list for who may perform maintenance
