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
- Rehearsal run by the continuity team alone with no operational participants
- External authority engagement never attempted or documented
- Findings not fed back into the plan
