First move
Automate the pull from your SIEM / log platform. Retention and alert rules exported from the SIEM; review evidence is the closed-alert record with reviewer and time.
Common gaps auditors find
- Key usage logged while lifecycle transitions are not
- Lifecycle events logged by the key store but never collected centrally
- No reporting, so the logs are never actually examined
