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
- Datacentre cabling protected while office cabling is exposed
- Power and data cabling run together with no segregation
- No inspection, so damage or tampering would not be found
