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
- Standing privileged access granted permanently
- Elevation granted with an expiry that is never enforced
- Accumulation across multiple elevation grants unmonitored
