First move
Start with the 1 of 4 artefacts that already live in a system (Document repository); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Containment and recovery handled ad hoc by whoever is available
- Lessons learned captured in a document that changes nothing downstream
- Handling rigour varies widely between teams and business units
