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
- Service accounts and machine identities missing from the inventory
- Access level recorded at creation and not maintained
- Inventory limited to the central directory
