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
- Second circuit purchased from a different reseller that uses the same physical path
- Alternate service covers the primary site only and not the alternate processing site
- Capacity of the alternate service insufficient to carry essential functions
