First move
Start with the 2 of 5 artefacts that already live in a system (Physical access / facilities); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Environmental sensor alerts route to unmonitored mailboxes
- Server room doors propped open during cooling failures
- CCTV coverage gaps at loading docks and equipment delivery areas
