First move
Mostly documents and reviews. Pull the 1 system-held artefact from your Identity provider / directory 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
- Triggers defined in policy while the platform applies a vendor default risk policy that does not match them
- Fallback silently downgrades to single factor when the supplemental method fails
- No logging of the triggering condition, so the decision cannot be shown to have been risk based
