First move
Start with the 1 of 4 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
- Cryptographic risks folded into a general register where they lose visibility
- Register populated once and never revisited
- Treatments assigned with no owner or date
