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
- One generic statement issued to everyone regardless of role
- Communication at induction only
- Responsibilities documented in policy but absent from role descriptions
