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.

- Partner and supplier resources assumed available with no contractual basis
- Consumables and utilities omitted, so a recovery site cannot actually operate
