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
- Policy exists with no technical enforcement
- Control applied to storage devices but not to other removable media
- Exceptions granted without expiry
