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
- Assessment limited to a questionnaire with no verification
- Coverage incomplete, with some suppliers never assessed
- Findings raised with suppliers and never followed up
