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
- Disposal handled by a third party with no certificate returned
- Sanitisation method chosen that leaves data recoverable
- Procedure covers datacentre equipment only and omits equipment used off premises
