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
- Devices in use that cannot run a supported operating system version
- Validation performed at procurement only and never revisited
- No matrix, so compatibility is judged case by case
