First move
Start with the 5 of 12 artefacts that already live in a system (Identity provider / directory); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Outdated privileged account inventory
- Missing or informal approval documentation
- Infrequent or superficial access reviews
- Privileged activity logs not retained or insufficiently protected
