First move
Start with the 2 of 5 artefacts that already live in a system (SIEM / log platform); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Media classification labels missing on physical assets
- Decommissioned drives stored unencrypted while awaiting destruction
- USB usage permitted without DLP inspection or encryption
