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
- Strategy chosen before the impact analysis, then justified after the fact
- Solutions procured but never maintained to a state where they could be activated
- Resource requirements of the chosen solutions never worked out
