First move
Start with the 4 of 14 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
- Policy not reviewed or updated regularly
- Missing documented employee acknowledgments
- Training limited to onboarding with no refresher sessions
- Violations not consistently recorded or enforced
