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
- Some policies reviewed and others silently overdue
- Reviews recorded as complete with no change or comment, suggesting no real review
- No change trigger defined, so reviews are calendar driven only
