governing documentDocuments that govern the control

- Evidence the plan set derives from the selected strategies and solutions · Policy repository / GRC workspace
- Distribution evidence showing plans are where responders are · Policy repository / GRC workspace
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
- Plan set that documents response but stops short of return to normal operations
- Plans not derived from the selected solutions, so they assume capability that was never built
- Plans available only in one location or one format
