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 sets remediation timeframes that are routinely exceeded with no exception process
- Annual review missed
- Policy covers infrastructure and omits applications or containers
