First move
Mostly documents and reviews. Pull the 2 system-held artefacts from your SIEM / log platform on a schedule; put the documents under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- No documented classification for media
- Transport logs missing chain-of-custody signatures
- Disposal performed without verification evidence
- Media inventory not kept up-to-date
