First move
Start with the 1 of 4 artefacts that already live in a system (Cloud console / configuration management); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Capability described in marketing material but not available in the product
- Customer keys held in a way the provider can still unilaterally use
- No documentation, so customers cannot exercise the capability
