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
- Policy covers infrastructure logging and omits application and cloud control plane logging
- Annual review missed
- Policy sets retention that the platform does not actually deliver
